Baez (back) will sit for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Baez has been dealing with hip and back issues for the past few days and hasn't started since Sunday. He isn't expected to start the second game of the day either, per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News, though he'll be available off the bench. Jonathan Villar starts at shortstop in his absence.
