  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Two steals in Sunday's loss

    Baez went 0-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the White Sox. Baez represented just one of five baserunners for the Tigers, and while he was able to swipe second and third base, he was left stranded in the sixth inning. The shortstop hadn't attempted a steal since a successful theft May 9. He's now at five steals this season while slashing .223/.270/.313 with three home runs, 27 RBI and 20 runs scored through 54 contests. His bat has been trending in the wrong direction lately, as he's gone hitless in five of his last eight games.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Tallies two hits in loss

    Baez went 2-for-4 with a triple in Friday's 3-0 loss to the White Sox. The Tigers had only six hits as a team and just two extra-base hits. It was a good effort all the same for Baez, who has struggled to get going this season. The shortstop has a .565 OPS over his last 10 games and just a .599 OPS for the year, which is well below his career .757 mark. He could still get hot at some point, but fantasy managers can't be blamed for turning to other middle infield options.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Heads to bench

    Baez will sit Saturday against the White Sox. Baez finds himself on the bench for the first time in exactly a month. He's hit .238/.279/.352 since that time, a slight improvement at best on his .234/.294/.286 line up to that point. Zack Short will get the nod at shortstop.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Three hits in win

    Baez went 3-for-6 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Monday's 8-5 win over the Royals in 10 innings. Baez came into the contest 0-for-16 across his last four games, so this was a step in the right direction for the streaky shortstop. Baez is now batting .243 this month and .238 for the season, as he hasn't been able to truly get going at the plate despite some big games here and there. He should continue to see regular playing time, though he's hard to trust in fantasy leagues at the moment.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Two hits in win

    Baez went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Guardians. The Tigers are playing better lately and so is Baez, as the shortstop is batting .314 this month with three home runs, five RBI and seven runs scored in nine games. Baez hasn't lived up to expectations yet during his time in Detroit, though he could be turning a corner. His season batting average is now up to .256 to go with a .695 OPS.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Logs third steal

    Baez went 0-for-5 with a steal in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Guardians. Baez saw his five-game hitting streak end Tuesday, but he was able to swipe his third bag of the season. Baez had been swinging the bat well to start the month -- he's 9-for-32 with three homers in eight games since the start of May. He's now slashing .246/.306/.361 with 16 RBI and 14 runs scored through 134 plate appearances this season. Even with his three punchouts Tuesday, Baez has cut his strikeout rate to 17.8 percent, which would be a career low.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Goes yard again

    Baez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals. Baez didn't homer in all of April, but he's now gone deep three times over four games in May. He also has three multi-hit efforts in his last five contests. For the season, the shortstop is slashing .260/.322/.394 with 15 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases through 115 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Hits first home run Wednesday

    Baez went 2-for-7 with a solo home run and three runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets. Baez's two games Wednesday were a good representation of his time in Detroit. He looked good in Game 1, going 2-for-3 with the home run, which was his first of the year, and three runs scored. The shortstop then went 0-for-4 and left five runners on base in the nightcap. Baez is now batting .237 overall in 2023 and has been largely disappointing for fantasy managers dating back to last season, though he's shown flashes of promise.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Doubles, drives in one Sunday

    Baez went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Orioles. Baez's season-long figures still don't look great, as he's batting .233 with a .575 OPS, but he's been better lately. Across his last 10 games, the shortstop is batting .310 with four RBI and four runs scored. He may not be able to return to the level he displayed earlier in his career with the Cubs, though Baez figures to keep trending upward after a slow start this year.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Returns to lineup Saturday

    Baez (hand) is back in the lineup for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles. Baez suffered a left hand contusion Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch, but he apparently feels well enough now to return as the Tigers' designated hitter in the early tilt at Comerica Park. He'll bat third versus O's right-hander Dean Kremer.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Scratched from Thursday's lineup

    Baez (hand) was scratched from the Tigers' lineup ahead of Thursday's game against Baltimore, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. Baez's left hand is still sore after getting hit by a pitch Wednesday against the Brewers, and it will now officially cost him at least one start. In Baez's absence, Nick Maton will shift to shortstop, Zach McKinstry moves to third base and Jonathan Schoop will start at second.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Back in lineup

    Baez (hand) is back in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Orioles. Baez had to exit Wednesday's game against the Brewers after being hit on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back clean and he won't miss any starts. The veteran shortstop is still looking for his first home run of the season but had carried a 10-game hitting streak into Wednesday's action.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Nursing hand contusion

    Baez was diagnosed with a left hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the left hand in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. He was immediately lifted from the game after being hit in his first at-bat, but fortunately for the shortstop, X-rays on his hand returned negative. Baez, who had slashed .361/.400/.444 over his previous 10 games entering play Wednesday, could return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener versus the Orioles if his hand isn't too sore.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Leaves after being hit in hand

    Baez left Wednesday's game against the Brewers in the first inning after being struck in the base of his left hand by a pitch, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Baez took a 93-mile-per-hour fastball from Freddy Peralta off his hand and was replaced by Jonathan Schoop, who entered the game as a pinch runner. Beck notes that Baez injured his middle finger on the same hand just a few days earlier, but the injury he sustained Wednesday could be of greater magnitude. Expect Baez to undergo X-rays later Wednesday as the Tigers look to determine whether he suffered a fracture.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Collects two more hits Monday

    Baez (finger) went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's win over the Brewers. Baez sprained his left middle finger on a slide into second base Saturday and was then scratched from the lineup Sunday. The shortstop looked fine in his return, and he's now 12-for-32 over his last 10 games to bring his season average up to .222. It's still been a disappointing start for Baez overall, though his recent stretch has been promising, and he appears to be healthy.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: In Monday's lineup

    Baez (finger) will start at shortstop and bat third Monday in Milwaukee. Baez had to depart Sunday's loss to the Orioles due to swelling in his left middle finger, but he's back out there a day later. The veteran shortstop is off to a dreadful .203/.253/.246 start at the dish this season.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Dealing with finger injury

    Baez was removed from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles due to swelling in his left middle finger, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. The 30-year-old suffered the injury Saturday on a slide into second base during the first inning, and his finger swelled up overnight after playing through the injury. It's not believed to be a serious issue, and Baez is expected to be able to play Monday against the Brewers.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Scratched from Sunday's lineup

    Baez was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game at Baltimore for unspecified reasons, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. The 30-year-old was penciled in at shortstop and to bat third in Sunday's series finale, but Zach McKinstry has replaced him in the starting lineup. The Tigers should provide an official update on Baez in the near future, and he should be considered day-to-day in the meantime.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Extends hitting streak in loss

    Baez went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles. Baez didn't have a great game, but he was the lone offensive bright spot for the Tigers on a night the team mustered only five hits. The hit also extended his hitting streak to seven games, so it looks like the shortstop is getting going a little bit, though he's still batting only .200 for the season.

  • Tigers' Javier Baez: Rebounds with two-hit game

    Baez went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's extra-innings win over the Giants. Baez was benched in the third inning of Thursday's game after a baserunning blunder got him doubled off second base, but he was back in the lineup Friday and played well. The shortstop is still batting only .159 this season, which is a huge disappointment given his contract. Baez is a streaky performer, however, and Friday's effort could get him going.
