Trey Sweeney News: Out of Friday's lineup

Sweeney is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.

Sweeney has gone 3-for-11 with two RBI against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound. Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat seventh.
