Losing hold of regular role
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
Sweeney will sit against a right-handed starter (Cade Horton) for the second time in three games and appears to have shifted into a part-time role with Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez off the IL, leaving fewer opportunities in the outfield for Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry. Baez will occupy shortstop and McKinstry will cover third base in Sunday's series finale.

On bench again Friday
Sweeney is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
It's the fourth absence in Detroit's past six games for Sweeney, who appears to have fallen out of a regular role with the Tigers getting the likes of Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez back from the injured list over the past couple weeks. Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez have both received starts at shortstop over the last week, with Baez getting the nod Friday while McKinstry mans third base. Sweeney has been unable to get on track offensively this season with a .222/.279/.312 slash line through 60 games.

Starting Thursday
Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.
Analysis
Sweeney has seen his playing time dwindle recently, as he only started one of Detroit's four previous games, but he'll get a chance to play in Thursday's afternoon tilt. The shortstop has been squeezed a bit by Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez. The latter started the year in center field but has since seen more time in the infield due to the return of Wenceel Perez and, more recently, Parker Meadows. As long as McKinstry and Baez stay productive at the plate, Sweeney may have to settle for a bench spot more often than not.

Playing time dwindling
Sweeney is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the White Sox.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Sweeney has now started just one of the last four games for the Tigers. The White Sox are starting a lefty opener Wednesday in Jared Shuster, but Sweeney's absence could be more about the Tigers prioritizing playing time for Zach McKinstry -- who is at shortstop Wednesday -- and Javier Baez.

Sitting against righty
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
Analysis
Sweeney will be on the bench for a second straight game, this time against a right-handed starter (Jonathan Cannon) after he was absent from the lineup Sunday while southpaw Kris Bubic took the hill for the Royals. With the recent returns of Wenceel Perez and Parker Meadows from the injured list, the Tigers have less of a need for Javier Baez in the outfield and could use him more frequently at shortstop. As a result, Sweeney could be at risk of falling into more of a timeshare at the position after having occupied the strong side of a platoon for much of the season.
