Javier Baez Exits Saturday's Game Early
2 years agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez exited Saturday's game against the Kansas Royals with an apparent injury. He had a rough night physically; Baez was slid into and tweaked something chasing a shallow fly ball in the first inning. The 29-year-old went 2-for-3 before leaving Saturday's contest. He is considered day-to-day; his next chance to return to the lineup will be Sunday for the series finale. The former Chicago Cub has struggled in his first season with Detroit, slashing .227/.271/.370 across 117 games in 2022. Kody Clemens replaced Baez on Saturday and would see an uptick in playing time if Baez is forced to miss time.
