Butler will bat sixth as the designated hitter in Wednesday's matchup against the Tigers.

Analysis:

Butler has both struggled at the plate and to find at bats. After a pinch-hit double Monday, Butler will get a chance to make another start at DH. He's hitting just .222 in 27 at-bats, but does have three hits in his last seven. He replaces Billy Burns in the lineup while Coco Crisp moves over to center field.
