Baez did not have to go through the concussion protocol for the injury he sustained in an outfield collision with Jason Heyward on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago reports.

Baez was diagnosed with a left eye contusion and is optimistic he will be able to play Saturday against the Brewers. We'll see if the Cubs play it safe with him and give him an off day or use him off the bench, but after a collision that looked capable of producing a major head injury, it looks like Baez has escaped the worst.
