Javier Baez News: Making first-ever start in CF

Baez will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Padres.

Baez has seen action in center field in three games this season with the Tigers, but this will be his first-ever start at any outfield position at the major-league level. He's expected to play the position frequently while Parker Meadows (shoulder) continues to recover, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.
