  • Javier Báez getting a breather on Saturday
    Javier Báez is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s matchup against the Astros.

    Advice: It’s starting to get to the point where it’s surprising that the 31-old-shortstop still has a job, despite the massive amount of money remaining on his contract with the Tigers. He’s now hitting a miserable .170/.207/.232 with just one homer, 12 RBI, six stolen bases and a 26/5 K/BB ratio over 121 plate appearances on the season. Zach McKinstry will start in his place at shortstop and will bat eighth against Cristian Javier and the Astros. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago

    Advice: Tucker has gone deep in four of his last five games, and his 12 home runs on the season is tied with Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna for most in the majors. Joey Loperfido will start in right field Saturday and bat ninth against Detroit southpaw Tarik Skubal. Rotowire.com Today, 12:49 pm
