An MRI revealed a hairline fracture on Baez's left thumb Saturday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Baez suffered the injury on a slide Sunday. He'll be examined by a specialist Monday, at which point a timeline will be determined. It's not yet clear if he has a chance to return before the end of the season or for the playoffs. Addison Russell appears to be the primary shortstop in his absence.
