Javier Baez Returns Against Baltimore
2 years agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (hand) is back at shortstop and is hitting third in the batting order on Thursday against right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Baltimore Orioles. Baez left Wednesday's game early after he was hit on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative and he's fine to play a day later. The 30-year-old right-handed slugger got off to a chilly start offensively and has yet to hit his first home run of the year, but he's picked things up at the plate recently and has raised his slash line to .234/.294/.286 with a .580 OPS, four doubles, eight RBI, two stolen bases and seven runs scored in 86 plate appearances and 22 games played.
