Javier Baez on Tigers bench Wednesday

Detroit Tigers infielder Javier Baez is not in the lineup on Wednesday against right-hander Connor Phillips and the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Baez will sit after he went 0-for-8 with 4 strikeouts in the last two games. Zach McKinstry will replace Baez at shortstop and bat leadoff while Matt Vierling moves down a spot to hit second. Andy Ibanez will bat fifth after he went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, a walk, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored out of the two-hole on Tuesday.

numberFire’s models project McKinstry ($2,500) for 9.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers' implied total is 4.22 and the game total is 8.0. Phillips made his MLB debut last week and gave up 5 runs (2 homers) on 6 hits, with 7 strikeouts and 2 walks, over 4 2/3 innings.
