MLB.com's Carrie Muskat expects Baez (thumb) to join the Cubs on Friday.
Although the move remains unofficial, The Des Moines Register backs up the statement. On the disabled list since the beginning of the season, Baez has been playing with the team's Triple-A Iowa affiliate of late, going 4-for-15 with a home run, a stolen base and an RBI in four games. With Kyle Schwarber (knee) out for the remainder of the season, Baez could see a fair amount of action between the infield and outfield upon rejoining the Cubs. If the 23-year-old slugger can manage to cut down on his strikeout rate, his fantasy value could increase dramatically.
