Baez (thumb) was 2-for-4 with a double and run scored in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Rockies.

The 23-year-old was impressive in his first appearance of the season after a DL stint due to a thumb injury. Baez did whiff twice, not exactly surprising given his rustiness and the fact that he fanned 119 times over his first 289 career at-bats. While he undeniably has plate discipline issues to sort through, the third-year shortstop is expected to thrive in what figures to be his most extensive amount of playing time at the major league leavel in 2016.
