Baez Looking to Have Bounce-Back Game for Tigers in Return to Lineup
Now that Baez is set to play against the Twins on Tuesday, it is clear that he will be looking to have a bounce-back game for the AL Central club. In his most recent appearance for Detroit on August 30 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he went 0-f0r-3. With this, he had a tough day at the plate that game but will be aiming to change that against Minnesota.
Baez has hits in six out of his last eight games, so it is clear that he has the potential to turn things around against Minnesota. It will be interesting to see what happens on that front now that he is back in Detroit’s lineup.
