Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Baez (thumb) will likely get 20-to-25 at-bats at Triple-A Iowa before returning from the DL, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

Baez will be in the lineup at third base Monday night for Triple-A Iowa. The 23-year-old was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left thumb contusion March 29 after jamming it during a slide in a spring training game on March 17. Once healthy, Baez has a clearer path to playing time, as the Cubs are looking for help in left field following the season-ending knee injury to Kyle Schwarber last week.
