The Tigers have placed shortstop Javier Baez on the injured list for the second time this season due to lumbar and hip inflammation, impacting his return.
Baez's struggles this season are evident in his .184/.221/.294 slash line over 289 plate appearances, marking his third consecutive disappointing season since joining the Tigers.
The Tigers have $73MM owed to Baez for the 2025-27 seasons, making his contract a potential burden as they consider future roster decisions.
Manager emphasized that they have not yet received a full diagnosis on Baez's injuries, but expect to know more soon about his potential recovery timeline.
