Baez (back) has collected four hits including one home run with one stolen base across four exhibition games this spring. Lower-back tightness sidelined him for several days. (Chris McCosky)

Fantasy Impact:

He will return to action on Saturday against Pittsburgh in a Grapefruit League game, starting at second base and batting sixth. Baez enters 2026 with eligibility at third base, shortstop and outfield, though his specific role has not been finalized.
