Javier Baez Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday
1 year agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener versus Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning. Baez didn't start Monday afternoon's contest against the Giants but struck out in a pinch-hitting appearance. It's been a disastrous season at the plate for the veteran as Baez is hitting just .226 with seven homers, nine stolen bases, and a .599 OPS across 95 contests. Additionally, Baez's .274 xwOBA isn't much higher than his .261 wOBA while his 64 wRC+ ranks 143rd of 145 qualified big-league hitters. Of course, he has played himself completely off the fantasy radar while he will look to bounce back Tuesday night out of the six-hole in Detroit.
