Baez (thumb) will return to the lineup Saturday against Cleveland, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
A head-first slide into first base Wednesday left Baez with a jammed thumb, but he's made a quick turnaround. Baez has been getting reps at first base, second, shortstop and center field this spring, increasing his defensive versatility in hopes of securing a super-utility role out of camp. He is 6-for-27 with one double, one homer, one walk and eight strikeouts so far in Cactus League play.
