Javier Baez (back) starting Friday for Tigers
Detroit Tigers infielder Javier Baez (back) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against right-hander Glenn Otto and the Texas Rangers.
Baez was a late scratch Wednesday due to back spasms. He will return Friday to play shortstop and hit third. Willi Castro will shift to second base in place of Kody Clemens and hit sixth.
Baez has a $2,700 salary and numberFire's models project him for 9.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers’ implied total (3.61) is No. 20 out of the 30 active teams today. The park factor in the contest is the second-strongest for hitters on Friday.
