Mikie Mahtook In Bad Slump
6 years agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook had two strikeouts on Tuesday and is now 0-for-23 for the season and 0-for-31 since his last hit, a single last September. His hitless streak is the longest by a Tigers non-pitcher to open a year, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Mahtook also made an error in center field on Tuesday and was left out of the lineup on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is more of a defensive specialist to begin with and is seeing more playing time in the outfield with JaCoby Jones (shoulder) injured to begin the season. Mahtook isn't even a good option in AL-only formats.
