INJURIES
Expected back in lineup Saturday
Chris McCosky of The Detroit NewsBaez (back) is expected back in the Tigers' Grapefruit League lineup Saturday versus the Pirates, mmm reports.
Impact
Baez hasn't played since being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with lower-back tightness. However, he'll go through a full workout Friday and, if all goes well, will be back in action this weekend.

Scratched with back tightness
Baez was scratched from Tuesday's exhibition game versus Team Dominican Republic due to lower-back tightness.
Impact
Baez should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Max Clark subbed in for Baez in center field in the Tigers' lineup Tuesday.

Hits first spring home run
Baez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
Impact
Baez has now gone 4-for-7 through three spring games, and his home run Friday was his first of the exhibition slate. Earlier this month, the veteran was suspended from the World Baseball Classic for testing positive for marijuana in March 2023. The WBC's governing body classifies marijuana as a banned substance, but Major League Baseball does not, so his status with the Tigers is unaffected. Baez looks like Detroit's primary shortstop to begin the year, though he could also move into a utility role and play some in center, particularly if top prospect Kevin McGonigle makes a push for the role at short. The 33-year-old had something of a bounceback campaign in 2025, but his fantasy value overall has been trending down across his four seasons with the Tigers.

WBC ban won't affect MLB status
Baez has been suspended from the World Baseball Classic for testing positive for marijuana in March 2023, but the suspension will not affect his availability for the start of sprin...
Impact
The World Baseball-Softball Confederation -- which governs the WBC -- classifies marijuana as a banned substance, hence the suspension. He will be eligible to play in the 2029 WBC. Major League Baseball does not list it as a banned substance, so Baez's status with MLB is unaffected. The 33-year-old Baez is expected to be the Tigers' Opening Day shortstop in 2026, though he will have to hold off top prospect Kevin McGonigle for the gig.

Plates four runs in Game 4
Baez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two additional RBI and a stolen base during Wednesday's win over the Mariners in Game 4 of the ALDS.
Impact
Baez smacked an RBI single into left field to tie the game at three apiece in the fifth inning. He then deposited an Eduard Bazardo offering into the left-field bleachers during the sixth to give the Tigers two more insurance runs en route to a convincing 9-3 victory. The 32-year-old is now 9-for-26 (.346) with a homer, five RBI and two runs scored through seven games in the postseason.
