Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Could see more time at short
Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat eighth Monday against the Padres, and he could see more time at the position with Javier Baez set to serve as the team's primary center fielder for the time being, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Sweeney was already seeing plenty of time at short, though he was getting some days off against lefties, with Baez picking up starts at his natural position of shortstop. However, with Baez set to focus more on center field, at least until the likes of Parker Meadows (shoulder) and Wenceel Perez (back) are able to return, Sweeney may have to cover short more frequently in the near term, including in matchups against southpaws. He'll face San Diego righty starter Randy Vasquez on Monday.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Back in lineup Saturday
Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.
Sweeney received Friday off with Kansas City starting southpaw Cole Ragans but will return to the lineup against righty Seth Lugo. The young shortstop hasn't really gotten going yet, as he's batting just .228 with a .641 OPS, though he has gone 3-for-6 over his last two games.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Out of Friday's lineup
Sweeney is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.
Sweeney has gone 3-for-11 with two RBI against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound. Javier Baez will start at shortstop and bat seventh.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Notches first steal
Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.
Sweeney had gone 0-for-5 over the last four games, a stretch in which the Tigers faced three left-handed starters. The 24-year-old is firmly in a strong-side platoon role to begin the season. He's now batting .237 (9-for-38) with a home run, two doubles, one triple, seven RBI, five runs scored and a steal over 13 contests. Sweeney logged just two steals across 119 major-league plate appearances in 2024, but he logged at least 20 thefts in three straight years in the minors, so he could tap into a bit more speed if he gets on base enough.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Idle against lefty
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The left-handed-hitting Sweeney will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Yankees send another southpaw (Max Fried) to the bump. Javier Baez will fill in for Sweeney at shortstop.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Sitting against left-hander
Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Yankees.
Southpaw Carlos Rodon is on the hill for the Yankees, so the left-handed hitting Sweeney will grab a seat. Javier Baez is at shortstop and batting sixth Monday.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Sitting vs. southpaw
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Pops first home run
Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
Sweeney popped his first home run of the season in the fifth inning against Seattle starter Luis Castillo. While it was the young shortstop's first extra-base hit of the year as well, he's still performed respectably with a .273 average and .713 OPS in the early going. As a rookie in 2024, Sweeney batted .218 with a .642 OPS during the regular season. The 24-year-old could be primed to take a step forward in 2025, and he figures to start at short most days against righties, with Javier Baez subbing in versus southpaws.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Poised to win shortstop job
Sweeney "appears poised to open the season as the primary shortstop" for the Tigers, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Sweeney had just a .642 OPS for the Tigers down the stretch of last regular season and has only a .611 OPS so far this spring. However, Detroit likes his glove at shortstop and the club is also lacking alternatives, so Sweeney is slated to see most of the reps at shortstop to open the season, at least against right-handed pitching.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Not a lock for shortstop job
Sweeney is not a given to open the season as the Tigers' primary shortstop, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
In his latest Opening Day roster projection, Stavenhagen has Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry sharing the shortstop job and Sweeney opening the season at Triple-A Toledo. Nothing has been decided, as Sweeney could still very well start at the position at least against right-handed pitching, but the gig won't be handed to him. Sweeney hit .218/.269/.373 with four home runs over 36 regular-season contests for the Tigers in 2024 before going 2-for-22 at the dish in seven postseason games.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Hits first spring home run
Sweeney went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and two total runs scored in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
Sweeney was scuffling a bit before today, as he started the spring 0-for-9 with four strikeouts. The 24-year-old appears to be Detroit's top option at shortstop, though veteran Javier Baez has said he's fully healthy after dealing with a hip injury. Long term, the Tigers likely want Sweeney to take the job and run with it, but Baez remains a looming threat in the short term, particularly due to his hefty contract. The two players could split playing time to a degree to begin the 2025 campaign, at least until one of them emerges.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Tweaks swing in offseason
Sweeney said he's made some "minor swing changes" since the end of last season to hit MLB fastballs better, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Sweeney seems focused on timing and working to catch up to fastballs better at the MLB level. He had a .245 average and a 19.8 percent whiff rate against the pitch last year, and all four of his home runs came off of breaking balls. Sweeney could be Detroit's Opening Day shortstop, though veteran Javier Baez (hip) is looming as competition as he gets back to full strength. However, Sweeney could parlay a strong start to the year into some job security.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Dealing with crowded infield
Sweeney stands a good chance to make Detroit's Opening Day roster, though he faces plenty of competition for an everyday starting role, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
The Tigers added Gleyber Torres in the offseason, and he figures to slot in at second base. The signing added further depth to a team that already features a handful of versatile infield defenders, such as Zach McKinstry, who is out of minor-league options. Sweeney and McKinstry are each left-handed, and the fact Sweeney has minor-league options remaining could result in him opening the year at Triple-A. Veteran shortstop Javier Baez (hip) is questionable for Opening Day, and would likely start at shortstop against lefties when healthy, regardless of whether Sweeney is on the roster. Fantasy managers may need to show some patience with Sweeney, though he could see his role expand as the year progresses.
