Trey Sweeney - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Playing time dwindling Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Sweeney has now started just one of the last four games for the Tigers. The White Sox are starting a lefty opener Wednesday in Jared Shuster, but this could be more about the Tigers prioritizing playing time for Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry (who is at shortstop Wednesday) over Sweeney.

Sitting against righty Sweeney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Sweeney will be on the bench for a second straight game, this time against a right-handed starter (Jonathan Cannon) after he was absent from the lineup Sunday while southpaw Kris Bubic took the hill for the Royals. With the recent returns of Wenceel Perez and Parker Meadows from the injured list, the Tigers have less of a need for Javier Baez in the outfield and could use him more frequently at shortstop. As a result, Sweeney could be at risk of falling into more of a timeshare at the position after having occupied the strong side of a platoon for much of the season.

Taking seat Sunday Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact With the Tigers facing right-handed starters in each of the past six games, the lefty-hitting Sweeney manned shortstop for all of those contests, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Logan Allen toes the rubber for Cleveland. Zach McKinstry will get the nod at shortstop Sunday, but the right-handed-hitting Javier Baez could end up settling in as the primary platoon mate for Sweeney once Baez is no longer needed in the outfield as often.

Resting Saturday Sweeney isn't part of the lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact Sweeney had been in the lineup for each of Detroit's last five matchups against left-handed starters, but he'll yield to Zach McKinstry at shortstop on Saturday against southpaw Eric Lauer. The left-handed-hitting Sweeney is slashing .259/.323/.378 on the season.

Sweeney has logged at least one RBI in each of his last three games, and since the beginning of May he has gone 19-for-47 (.404) with three home runs and 13 RBI.

Drives in three runs Sweeney went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's win against Boston.

Impact Sweeney ripped a three-run shot during Detroit's nine-run third inning. He later singled in the fourth and eighth frames. Sweeney has been on a tear lately, producing five multi-hit games over his last seven appearances. That hot streak has boosted his season OPS from .600 to .735 with four home runs through 40 games.

Back in lineup Monday Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Sweeney got Sunday off after starting the previous 19 games, but he'll get right back in there Monday. The 25-year-old has been hot in May, slashing .400/.417/.600 with two home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored in nine games this month, which has helped him prop up his overall numbers after a slow start to the season.

Taking seat Sunday Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Sweeney started the previous 19 games and had a .736 OPS during that stretch, but he will head to the bench Sunday after striking out in all four of his plate appearances Saturday to take the Golden Sombrero. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop for the series finale versus Texas, with Colt Keith entering the lineup at designated hitter.

Four hits, four runs Thursday Sweeney went 4-for-8 with four runs scored in Thursday's doubleheader sweep over the Rockies.

Impact Sweeney has hit safely in his last eight games and has racked up four straight multi-hit efforts. During the hitting streak, he has gone 15-for-32 (.469) with two home runs, one double, seven RBI and nine runs scored. The shortstop has carved out a near-everyday role in recent weeks after beginning the year in a platoon with Javier Baez, who is now in the outfield. When the streak started, Sweeney was hitting .198, but he's up to .269 with a .732 OPS, three homers, 15 RBI, 23 runs and two stolen bases across 37 contests on the year.

Provides jolt in Sunday's big win Sweeney went 4-for-5 with a home run, two total runs scored and six RBI in Sunday's 13-1 win over the Angels.

Impact Sweeney tied his career high with the four hits and set a new career best for RBI in a game. It was actually the first time this season that the shortstop had multiple RBI in a contest, and just the third time that he recorded multiple hits. Sweeney is now riding a modest five-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 8-for-20 with two home runs and seven RBI.

Impact Sweeney hit his second home run of the season in the seventh inning, which at the time tied the game at 1-1 before the Tigers exploded for eight runs in the ninth. The shortstop is riding a modest three-game hitting streak, though he hasn't had a multi-hit performance since April 18, which has kept him from building much momentum.
