Without further ado, here’s what’s been going on with some of your Cubs favorites over the past week.
Javier Báez
After slowly improving through most of June, Javy had a bad week: .179/.172/.250 (5-for-28) with 10 strikeouts. You’ll note the OBP is lower than the BA — that’s what happens when you have a sacrifice fly but no walks.
Báez is having his worst year (except for the pandemic 2020 season) since his rookie year in 2014.
The Tigers actually won four of the seven games they played over the past week, including sweeping the Guardians in a doubleheader on Monday.
