Baez (thumb) has been cleared to play in extended spring training, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
A pitch buzzed Baez's helmet during a recent game in Arizona, forcing 23-year-old to the bench for several days and costing him key at-bats in his rehab from a thumb injury. Baez is expected to miss the home opener as a result, but once he's healthy, Baez could come up to serve in a super-utility role on a Cubs team now without Kyle Schwarber (knee).
