De Aza is out of Sunday's lineup against the Tigers. De Aza is sitting due to the bad matchup with lefty David Price, as the outfielder is hitting .138/.194/.207 against lefties this year. However, it could also be possible the foul ball De Aza took off his foot in Game 2 hurt more than he let on. Delmon Young will take over at left field in his place.

De Aza went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs, a run and was hit by a pitch in Thursday's Game 2 of the ALDS against Detroit. De Aza stayed in the game after being hit with a pitch by Max Scherzer pitch in his foot. Initially, De Aza was tender on the foot but he walked it off.
