Baez is starting at shortstop and hitting eighth Wednesday against the Cardinals.

There was a scary moment in Tuesday's game where a pitch ricocheted off Baez's bat and hit his wrist, but he remained in the game, and was apparently feeling no ill effects Wednesday. With Addison Russell struggling to impact the game on offense, Baez could start to see a couple starts each week at shortstop, in addition to his other starts in a utility role all over the field.
