Baez is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Padres on Saturday.

Sat, Mar 07, 2026 at 8:46 AM

Baez (back) will start at second base and bat sixth in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Scouting Report

Has tremendous bat speed and can generate a wealth of power. Aside from being a pure hitter, he helps himself offensively by stealing bases. In the field, he has a great throwing arm and pretty good feet. As he continues to grow, the shortstop position may not be an option at the big-league level. Also, he needs to tone down his act a little when between the lines, since he can grate on opponents now and then.

Long Range Potential: Versatile power hitter.
