    • Javier Baez (back) receives injection on Friday
      Javier Baez received an injection in his injured back on Friday and will be re-evaluated early next week to determine his availability for baseball activities.

      Advice: The slumping 31-year-old shortstop landed on the injured list this week with lumbar spine inflammation and the team has yet to give any sort of timeline for his return. In the meantime, Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kriedler will continue to share time at shortstop for the Tigers. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
