Moustakas is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
After providing three homers in a four-game stretch, Moustakas has hit a rough patch over the last three contests, recording one hit in 11 at-bats. He wouldn't stand a great chance at getting back on track Wednesday with lefty Matt Boyd on the mound, so Moustakas will hit the bench in favor of Cheslor Cuthbert.
