Resting Saturday Sweeney isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus the White Sox.
Impact Sweeney will get a chance to clear his head during Saturday's contest after going just 1-for-14 with four strikeouts over his last four games. While he rests, Zach McKinstry will fill in as Detroit's shortstop and bat eighth.

Blasts key home run Wednesday Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact Sweeney capped off a six-run first inning with a three-run shot, his fourth home run in 21 games since making his MLB debut on Aug. 16. The 24-year-old has some offensive upside, and with Javier Baez (hip) out for the season, Sweeney is getting an extended look at shortstop. Baez has struggled since coming over to Detroit and will be 32 when the 2025 season gets underway, so Sweeney could take the job and run with it, though Baez is still owed $73 million through 2027, which could complicate the situation.

He's now batting .236 with three homers, nine RBI, five runs scored, two steals and two doubles over 58 plate appearances.

Getting afternoon off Sweeney is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
Impact With a lefty (Justin Steele) on the hill for the Cubs, the lefty-hitting Sweeney will hit the bench as Javier Baez picks up the start at shortstop. Sweeney should still receive the bulk of the opportunities at shortstop down the stretch as he looks to stake a claim to a full-time role with the big club heading into 2025. Since getting promoted from Triple-A Toledo last Friday, Sweeney has gone 2-for-11 with a home run and two RBI over his first three big-league games.

Hits first MLB home run Sweeney went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cubs.
Impact Sweeney went deep in the second inning with a runner on, giving him his first MLB long ball. The 24-year-old has now appeared in three games for the Tigers, going 2-for-11 with four strikeouts. Sweeney came over from the Dodgers in last month's Jack Flaherty trade, and he had some success in the minors before his first promotion to the majors, so he may get an extended opportunity to settle in at his new level, possibly at the expense of veteran Javier Baez.

Contract selected ahead of debut The Tigers selected Sweeney's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Impact Acquired from the Dodgers in last month's Jack Flaherty trade, Sweeney has slashed .267/.345/.450 with 15 home runs and 20 stolen bases over 107 contests at the Triple-A level this season. The 24-year-old has played shortstop almost exclusively in the minors and should see most of the reps there against right-handers, with Javier Baez perhaps limited to a short-side platoon.

Headed to majors The Tigers selected Sweeney's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sweeney was acquired from the Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline as part of the return for Jack Flaherty. Since reporting to Triple-A Toledo, the 24-year-old infielder has slashed .381/.447/.667 with two homers and nine RBI across 47 plate appearances while also swiping four bags in 11 games. He has played almost exclusively at shortstop throughout his minor-league career and could now take playing time away from Javier Baez, who has struggled at the plate all year.
