FACTS/FLUKES: J. Báez, Greinke, Benintendi, Sewald, E. Suárez

Báez off to a miserable start with the Tigers ... Javier Báez (2B/SS, DET) has been a five-category contributor for most of his career. He is on a pace to hit fewer than 15 HR, hasn't attempted a steal yet this season, and has a career low BA (with the exception of the short 2020 season). What are his prospects for a rebound from his poor start?
