2 years agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (back) is back in the lineup Friday against the Texas Rangers. Baez missed Wednesday's game with back spasms but is feeling good enough to play now. He will man shortstop and bat third in the Tigers' order. Baez has disappointed greatly in his first year with Detroit, slashing .224/.266/.636 with his new team. Some fantasy players were worried about Baez's park shift to one of the most pitcher-friendly stadiums in the league, and they've been dead on. The 29-year-old has a .486 OPS at home compared to a .766 mark on the road. That doesn't bode well for his future in Detroit unless he can make the necessary adjustments. Baez is droppable in points leagues and shallower category leagues.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
