Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.
After seeing action in 34 consecutive games, Baez will now be held out of the starting lineup for the second game in the Cubs' last three. His recent struggles at the plate could be a reason, as he's managed just three hits in his last 26 at-bats (.115) to go along with 13 strikeouts. Ben Zobrist is replacing him at second Tuesday, batting fourth.
