1 hour agoMichael Harris II sits as Braves shuffle bottom of the order
Michael Harris II is resting due to a quad issue, prompting lineup changes for the Braves against the Tigers.
Tonight, in the top of the fifth inning against the Braves, Javier Báez hit a groundball to short and started off for first base. When he got close, for some reason, he slid into the bag. But his slide was WAY too late, so his leg got jammed up on the base.
The Tigers and Mariners get their AL Division Series underway tonight in Seattle, with rookie Troy Melton starting for Detroit against former All-Star George Kirby. Both teams will go with 14 position players and 12 pitchers on their 26-man rosters for the series.... Keith and Hanifee are newcomers to the playoff roster, replacing Paul Sewald and Justyn-Henry Malloy. Right ribcage inflammation has kept Keith from playing since September 18, and he wasn't quite ready to go for the Tigers' wild card series against the Guardians.
