Wednesday’s lineups: Tigers vs. M’s
Jim Adduci is off to a red-hot start at 6-for-10, but so is James Paxton, who has held left-handed hitters to 2-for-16 with six strikeouts so far this season. Thus, Adduci sits, as does Tyler Collins. Mikie Mahtook starts in right field, as Dixon Machado gets what has become a rare start at shortstop even with Jose Iglesias on the disabled list.
TIGERS (career numbers off Paxton)
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B (2-for-7, K)
2. Mikie Mahtook, RF (1-for-3, K)
3. Nicholas Castellanos, 3B (2-for-6, double, K)
4. Victor Martinez, DH (2-for-8, double, 2 walks)
5. Justin Upton, LF (1-for-6, walk, 3 K’s)
6. John Hicks, 1B
7. James McCann, C (1-for-3)
8. Dixon Machado, SS
9. Andrew Romine, CF
