Tigers' Cameron Maybin (thumb) remains out of lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup Friday against the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Maybin jammed his thumb attempting to steal a base on Monday and hasn't played since. X-rays and an MRI both came back clean, but Maybin is obviously still sore. JaCoby Jones -- who has just two big league games under his belt -- will man center field on Friday.

Maybin is having a career-year at the plate, slashing .329/.401/.416 with 14 stolen bases and a .360 wOBA. We project him to struggle over the remaining course of the season, hitting .254 with just a .696 OPS.
