According to Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Javier Baez, he’s dealt with injury issues over the last two seasons, which could have contributed to his subpar performance.
Per Tigers’ reporter Chris McCosky:
Tigers fans will certainly hope that this discomfort is the reason why he hasn’t been able to take off in the Motor City and that he’ll be better in 2024.
After signing a six-year, $140 million deal before the 2022 season, Baez has had a dreadful two years in Detroit. He’s hit just .230 with the Tigers, posting a meager .273 on-base percentage.
