What's Happening?
Zach McKinstry of the Detroit Tigers is not in the lineup for the third consecutive game due to a back issue. The problem arose shortly before Tuesday's game, leading to his absence from subsequent matches. In his place, Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat ninth as McKinstry continues to recover.
Why It's Important?
McKinstry's absence could impact the Tigers' performance, as they adjust their lineup to compensate for his missing presence. His back issue highlights the challenges teams face with player injuries, which can affect team dynamics and performance. The Tigers will need to rely on other players like Javier Baez to step up during McKinstry's recovery.
