Javier Báez (ankle) is scheduled to play in another minor league rehab game at Single-A Lakeland on Thursday.

He’ll then get a day off on Friday and if all is well, he’ll have his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Toledo for the remainder of the weekend. Báez has been shelved since late April due to a high-grade ankle sprain but is finally making tangible strides toward a return. Barring any setbacks, it’s possible that he rejoins the Tigers before the end of July.
