End of an era: Spencer Torkelson and 3 other Players from Detroit Tigers departed from the team after…

The Detroit Tigers most expensive slugger looks to be headed back to the injured list yet again as his season continues to only get worse.

Javier Baez is reportedly set for a stint on the injured list per Evan Petzold of Detroit Free Press As of right now, the reasoning is undisclosed, but he’s been dealing with a hip issue that would make sense as the answer for an extended absence.

He missed 26 games earlier this season due to a spine injury and has also been dealing with neck issues this month.

Some time on the injured list may be needed as a bit of a refresh for the slugger’s body down the stretch.

The two-time All-Star signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Tigers back in 2022 and hasn’t been able to find his footing since.

His 80 games so far this season have been the worst of his career.

He’s slashing a measly .184/.221/.294 line with just six home runs and 37 RBI.

The 32-year-old has just looked lost at the plate. His approach and the overall results outside of actual batting average haven’t changed much from year-to-year.

Even though the struggles at the plate have been around for a while, he had normally been a very solid glove.

Even that as changed as this year has been his worst in the field with a negative outs above average.
