Baez (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday's Cactus League game against the Indians, playing second base and batting second.
Cubs manager Joe Maddon said Thursday that Baez would return to the lineup Saturday, so the young infielder seems right on schedule in his return from a tight hamstring. Baez hasn't played in nine days, but the Cubs were just being overly cautious, and he should be good to go for Opening Day.
