  • Dealing with back injury
    Baez was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to a lower-back injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Baez reportedly had no problems playing in the field, though his back prevented him from feeling comfortable while hitting. There's no telling if he'll be available for Sunday's series finale, but the Tigers may take a cautious approach and sit him down heading into the break. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:04 pm

  • Javier Báez leaves game with back issue Saturday
    Javier Báez was forced to leave Saturday’s ballgame against the Dodgers due to soreness in his back.

    Advice: The 31-year-old shortstop was lifted from Saturday’s game when the Tigers took the field in the top half of the sixth inning after his back tightened up on him. It doesn’t sound like it should be a long-term concern though, so Báez should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:38 pm

  • Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) nears rehab assignment
    Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment following next week’s All-Star break.

    Advice: It’s been pretty much a lost season so far for Grissom in his Red Sox debut as he’s had a couple stints on the injured list and has only been healthy for 23 contests so far. The 23-year-old middle infielder has been on the shelf since early June recovering from a right hamstring strain. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:24 am
