Baez's absence from Tuesday's lineup against the Mets is primarily due to tightness in his lower back as opposed to his left hip, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. The club is optimistic that he'll be available off the bench.

Baez left Sunday's game with what the club later labeled as a left hip issue, but it sounds like the infielder is actually dealing with more pain in the lower part of his back. The 28-year-old has a chance of appearing off the bench Tuesday as he remains day-to-day.
