Akil Baddoo Stats

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night versus the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jonathan Bowlan, who is making his MLB debut this evening. Baddoo didn't start Tuesday's series-opening 6-3 victory but did enter the game as a pinch-hitter and launched a mammoth 443-foot homer on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning. Starts haven't been as consistent for Baddoo after prospect Parker Meadows was promoted to the big leagues and he has hit just .196 with two homers, one double, and a .608 OPS across 50 plate appearances in the month of September. He will take on a right-hander in Bowlan who has worked to a 5.91 ERA across 102 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The left-handed slugger will sit out his second straight game, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. Baddoo went 0-for-7 with four strikeouts during their last series. That being said, the Tigers are deciding to give him some rest and try other options. Kerry Carpenter will start in right field and bat fifth versus right-hander Touki Toussaint on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.
