A .184 batting average, with six home runs and 37 RBIs. In addition, Baez has a 41 wRC+ and -0.8 fWAR. His season-ending surgery is the pedestal for the worst season in his career. Tigers fans wish him a speedy recovery, but whether we will see him in a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/08\/17\/detroit-tigers-recall-infielder-torkelson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Tigers<\/a> uniform next season is questionable.<\/p>\n<p>Next season was already not looking bright for him. But now, with the season-ending surgery, the probability of his return is looking doubtful. He has been transferred from the 10-day injury list to the 60-day injury list. His discouraging 2024 season has been aligned with a lack of vitality and vibrancy at the plate. It has made people wonder what is happening with a player whose past career has been showcased with numerous achievements. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Baez.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Baez landing on the 60-day injury list, the Tigers also made several other roster moves.
