Mikie Mahtook News
Detroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook had two strikeouts on Tuesday and is now 0-for-23 for the season and 0-for-31 since his last hit, a single last September. His hitless streak is the longest by a Tigers non-pitcher to open a year, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Mahtook also made an error in center field on Tuesday and was left out of the lineup on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is more of a defensive specialist to begin with and is seeing more playing time in the outfield with JaCoby Jones (shoulder) injured to begin the season. Mahtook isn't even a good option in AL-only formats.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook has been recalled to the starting lineup and will bat leadoff on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays. His promotion from Triple-A comes in response to outfielder Leonys Martin (hamstring) being placed on the disabled list. Mahtook is the only change to the Tigers lineup for Monday, although its interesting to see him bat leadoff. In limited time this season hes only batted .188. That said, he has shown intriguing power in his career, but can be left on the waiver wire for the time being.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook is expected to be called up to replace the injured Leonys Martin. Mahtook got off to a horrible start to 2018 and was demoted fairly quickly. He's hitting .261/.333/.450 in Triple-A with eight home runs and five steals in 53 games. Mahtook still has potential for a combination of power and speed so he is worth a look in AL-only leagues if outfield is a need.
