The last month of the baseball season is not too important for teams out of contention like the 2018 Detroit Tigers, but each player on the roster still has something to prove. Some players are in better situations than others, but on a team like the current Tigers, there are plenty of question marks going into the offseason.
Thus, September can be an audition for players on the edge of the roster or for those fighting for starting spots in 2019. One player who could do a lot to make his case over the final month of the season is Mikie Mahtook, who has been given every opportunity to play in left field.
