Javy Baez will miss the game Saturday for the Detroit Tigers, BaseballPress.com reports.
Baez has a thumb injury that has kept him out of the starting lineup for four straight games. Baez is in his first season in Detroit after signing as a free agent during the offseason. Baez has gotten off to a hot start with a .316 average, one HR, and four RBIs in 19 at-bats. He is considered day to day at this point in time. Harold Castro has been playing shortstop with Baez unavailable.
After years of being a doorstop in the American League Central, the Tigers are trying to compete this season.
