Expects to return Tuesday Baez (thumb) expects to be available off the bench Monday against the Mets and hopes to return to the lineup Tuesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Baez battled thumb soreness throughout last week, missing a total of four games. He'll miss another one to start this week, but the issue doesn't appear to be particularly serious and a trip to the injured list doesn't seem to be on the cards.

Remains sidelined Baez (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Scratched with thumb issue Manager David Ross said Baez was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals because of thumb soreness, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Baez missed three games last week because of the thumb issue before returning for the first two games of the weekend series against St. Louis. Unfortunately, the thumb soreness has returned for the shortstop, so Ross will play it safe by taking him out of Sunday's starting nine. It's currently unknown if he could appear off the bench in the series finale and he can be considered day-to-day going forward.

Impact The 28-year-old sat out the three-game series against the Padres this week due to a bruised right thumb, but he will rejoin the lineup following Thursday's scheduled off day. Baez is 1-for-16 with six strikeouts over his past four games, so hopefully he'll rebound after receiving a few days off to recover from the injury.
