The Mets reinstated Baez (back) from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. He'll start at shortstop and bat third in the Mets' series finale with the Dodgers.
Baez will end up returning from the IL in the minimum amount of time after back spasms kept him on the shelf for the past week and a half. During his recent workouts, Baez has been taking most of his defensive reps at second base, but he'll return to the New York lineup at his natural position of shortstop with Francisco Lindor (oblique) not quite ready to return from the 10-day IL. Lindor should be back for the Mets' upcoming series with the Giants that begins Tuesday, at which time Baez should shift over to second base on a full-time basis.
