Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez has been hitting .375 with six RBI since being benched by manager A.J Hinch for running into a double play after forgetting how many outs there were in a recent game. Baez’s mistake frustrated both himself and the manager and appears to have lit a fire under him, helping him become more focused and motivated. Since signing for the Tigers last year, Baez’s form has been up and down, and he hit just .238 in the previous season, and this year he is sitting on an average of .139. However, his recent performance indicates that he’s back to the standard that saw him helping the Chicago Cubs win the 2016 World Series. The Tigers have won their last five games, including a doubleheader sweep against the Cleveland Guardians. They face the Guardians in their final meeting of their three-game series before traveling east to take on the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend.
