Could see more time at short
Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Monday against the Padres, and he could see more time there with Javier Baez set to be the team's primary center fielder for the time being, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.
Analysis
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.

Back in lineup Saturday
Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.
Analysis
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.

Out of Friday's lineup
Sweeney is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.
Analysis
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.
