The Detroit Tigers finally got back into the win column with Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Texas Rangers, but one of their most valuable players went down in the process.
Fans began to fear the worst when shortstop Javy Báez was abruptly removed from Sunday's series finale during the sixth inning and replaced by Trey Sweeney, especially when it was revealed after the game that Báez had been dealing with a shoulder injury for about a month that flared up during the game.
Fortunately, however, Báez said afterward that his removal from the game was more precautionary than anything and not necessarily indicative of a serious injury.
