Detroit Tigers center fielder Cameron Maybin is not in the lineup on Thursday as he is dealing with lingering discomfort in his thumb.
Maybin has been in-and-out of the lineup since jamming his thumb in late August, and he re-aggravated it a bit on Wednesday night. JaCoby Jones will start in center field and bat eighth Thursday for Detroit.
Maybin is having a solid year from the dish, slashing .316/.383/.409 through 326 plate appearances, with a .358 wOBA that is his best since 2008, when he saw only 36 plate appearances.
