Here’s what people were saying about the update:
@jayedwardsiii: “Not only are Tigers getting hurt at an unfathomable pace, they’re also not healing Very cool”
@Slicknickshady: “His Tiger career is done.”
@GuyGuy399129004: “So they’re just giving up on the season then”
@bythewaybro: “Javy Baez has been on the 10-Day IL since April 29th. Should be the next player transferred to the 60-day whenever the Tigers decide to make their next 40 man move.”
@totallytigersbb: “Several weeks ago, the Detroit Tigers started collecting shortstops. Very suspect when they traded for Zack Short again. No surprise as now the other shoe has dropped. Javy Baez is nowhere near ready to return and is seeing a specialist for his ankle.”
