Baez is batting eighth and playing shortstop Thursday against the Giants.
Baez is filling in for the scuffling Addison Russell but slides down the order -- compared to leadoff Wednesday -- against right-hander Jeff Samardzija due to his handedness. Still, Baez is 8-for-13 with two home runs and eight RBI in his last four starts, which explains why manager Joe Maddon wants to keep him active.
