Not starting nightcap Baez is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.
Impact Baez, who started the last 12 games and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Game 1, will take a seat for the nightcap. Nico Hoerner will step in at shortstop in Game 2.

Monster game Monday Baez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.
Impact Baez went to work against the Detroit bullpen, hitting a two-run shot off Tyler Alexander in the fourth inning then following that up with a solo home run against John Schreiber in the ninth. The 27-year-old shortstop is still off to a slow start by his standards with a .219 batting average and .684 OPS, but a game like this could be just what he needs to get rolling.

Out of Sunday's lineup Baez is not in Sunday's lineup against the Brewers.
Impact Baez is 0-for-14 with seven strikeouts over his last three games, so he will head to the bench for a rare breather. Jason Kipnis starts at second base while Nico Hoerner slides over to shortstop.

Drives in two in win Baez went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Royals.
Impact Baez looked more like his normal self Wednesday after going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts in the first two games of the series against Kansas City. His .229 average and .728 OPS for the season are below his usual marks, but the 27-year-old is capable of going on a hot streak at any moment.

Delivers clutch hit Baez went 1-for-5 with a game-winning single in the 11th inning against the Pirates on Sunday.
Impact Baez scuffled at the plate until the 11th inning, when he delivered a one-out single to bring home the runner who started the frame on second base. The young shortstop is slashing .243/.300/.541 through nine games, and those numbers should continue to rise.

Homers against Pittsburgh Baez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a walk and two strikeouts in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Impact Baez got off to a slow start this season, but he has been seeing the ball better of late -- the slugging infielder has recorded hits in four of his last five games, going 6-for-20 with three homers, two doubles and five RBI during that stretch.

Collects first two hits of season Baez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.
Impact Baez went 0-for-4 in Friday's season opener but bounced back quickly. He remains one of the most potent offensive players in the league and should produce good counting stats in the heart of a strong Chicago lineup.
