Gose struggled through June, hitting .167 and posting a .214 on-base percentage in June entering Tuesday's game. His spot at the top of the Tigers' batting order against right-handed pitchers could be in jeopardy, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Analysis:
Overall, Gose was hitting .270 heading into Tuesday and his .314 overall OBP remains OK. But a month is a long slump and manager Brad Asmus' patience may be waning. He recently admitted that he has considered moving hot-hitting Jose Iglesias to the leadoff spot "multiple times."
