Baez (thumb) isn't starting Saturday's game against the Royals.
Baez hurt his thumb while celebrating the Tigers' Opening Day win, and he aggravated the issue while swinging recently. His thumb remained swollen Friday, but X-rays were negative. The 29-year-old will be out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench. Harold Castro will remain at shortstop and bat ninth.
