Though Baez (thumb) hasn't played since March 20, he could still be ready by Opening Day, Carrie Muskat of the Cubs' official site reports. "It might be a short-term concern as far as when he can get out there again," manager Joe Maddon said Saturday of Baez. "I have not heard anything negative in a long-term sense."
