Javier Baez Taking Another Day Off
1 year agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (soreness) is out of the starting lineup yet again on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Baez will miss a third straight game due to general soreness. Zack Short will make another start at shortstop for Detroit and bat ninth against White Sox right-hander Touki Toussaint. It's been another frustrating season for Baez, as he's hitting just .219/.262/.319 with eight home runs, 54 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in 448 at-bats. The free-swinging 30-year-old finished the month of August going 10-for-57 (.175) with a homer, a double, six RBI, 19 strikeouts, one stolen base and seven runs scored in 17 games (16 starts). DFS gamers can find better sleepers at short than Short, who is hitting .222 (42-for-189) with six homers and 29 RBI this year.
