Javier Báez - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Three hits in return to lineup Baez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-0 rout of the Orioles.

Impact Getting the start in center field and batting ninth in his first big-league action since April 28, Baez made an immediate impact as part of a 19-hit barrage by the Tigers that saw them put at least one run on the board in every inning. Baez will likely take over from James Outman as Detroit's primary center fielder in the short term, but the potential promotion of top prospect Max Clark looms if the organization decides to give him a look later in the season. Over 86 plate appearances this season, Baez sports a .280/.302/.427 slash line with two homers, one steal, six RBI and 11 runs.

Impact The 33-year-old has been sidelined due to an ankle sprain since late April, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after a four-game rehab assignment, during which he went 6-for-12 with three doubles. Baez had a .256/.280/.397 slash line through 24 games prior to the injury. He made starts at center field and shortstop during the rehab stint, which provides an indication of where he'll be spending most of his time for Detroit.

Ready for rehab assignment Baez (ankle) will embark on a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Baez has been sidelined by a right ankle sprain since late April, and his recovery has been slower than expected. The good news for the veteran infielder is that he's finally been cleared to embark on a rehab assignment, which could have him back in the majors by late July or early August. Prior to his injury, Baez had a .677 OPS with one steal, two home runs and six RBI across 82 plate appearances.

Taking live BP, running on tap Baez (ankle) began participating in live batting practice this week and is scheduled to run the bases Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Baez initially landed on the injured list in late April due to a sprained right ankle, but a setback combined with overall slow progress has caused his time on the shelf to approach the three-month mark. He'll presumably require an extended rehab assignment in the minor leagues before rejoining the Tigers, and a clearer timeline for his return to play should emerge as he increases his activity.
