The utility player wraps up his regular season with a .239/.301/.352 slash line across 91 games, and he'll give the Tigers a versatile bench option as they enter the postseason.

    Baez provided Detroit's offense on the afternoon, hitting his 12th home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on. While the veteran cooled down some after a strong start to the year, he still put together a bounceback campaign following a disastrous 2024. Baez wraps up his regular season with a .257/.282/.398 slash line across 126 games.
