Javier Báez of the Detroit Tigers will be sidelined longer due to a high ankle sprain, having been shut down from baseball activities after consulting a specialist. Manager A.J. Hinch noted that Báez isn’t progressing quickly, and rest is essential for recovery. The former All-Star, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract in 2022, has struggled with his performance, hitting just .230 over five seasons. The Tigers currently sit last in the American League Central, facing multiple injury challenges this season.
