The Detroit Tigers made a significant roster change Tuesday, activating Javier Báez from the injured list and designating catcher Jake Rogers for ******* ignment.
Báez will immediately return to the lineup and start in center field, according to MLB.com's Jason Beck.
The move brings Báez back after a lengthy absence and ends Rogers' run on Detroit's active roster, at least for now.
Báez had been sidelined since late April before beginning a rehabilitation ******* ignment with Triple-A Toledo.
The 33-year-old was hitting .256 with two home runs, six RBIs and a .678 OPS in 78 at-bats before landing on the injured list. Detroit has increasingly used Báez as a center fielder, giving manager A.J. Hinch another athletic and versatile option in the outfield.
