Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez could be back soon, but you might want to temper expectations for outfielder Kerry Carpenter.
Baez began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday night. He’ll start as a designated hitter before moving to shortstop in the days to come. That could put him in line to rejoin the team when the Tigers start a new homestand in Detroit on July 8.
