Baez (thumb) is nearing a return to the Cubs, the Chicago Tribune reports. "He's getting close," manager Joe Maddon said. "We just want to make sure he's well and feels good at the plate and seeing the ball well. But he's close."
Exactly when Baez could return is unclear, but it may be as soon as this weekend. The 23-year-old, who has played in the outfield and the infield during this Triple-A stint, is slated to play left field for Iowa on Thursday. The organization is expected to comment on the situation after Thursday's Triple-A game, so look for an update later in the afternoon.
