Prior to being hired by the Detroit Tigers, AJ Hinch not only spent five seasons as manager of the Houston Astros, but he led them to a World Series title.
On Monday night, Hinch will return to Houston for the first time since he was fired for his involvement in the infamous sign-stealing scandal.
Hinch has released his starting lineup for Monday night’s game and as you can see, Akil Baddoo is back in the lineup.
Baddoo, who got of to a red-hot start to his career, cooled down a bit over his last couple of games.
RHP Casey Mize will be making his second start of the season for the Tigers.
Tonight’s game starts at 8:10 p.m. EST and can be seen on Bally Sports Detroit and heard on 97.1 The Ticket.
