Javier Baez starting at shortstop for Cubs Sunday

The Chicago Cubs listed Javier Baez as their shortstop for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Baez will re-enter the lineup and bat third. The Cubs are moving a number of their players around the field to make room, with Nico Hoerner moving to second, Jason Kipnis playing designated hitter, Kyle Schwarber moving to left field, Ian Happ shifting to center field, and finally Albert Almora Jr. taking a seat.

Our models project Baez to score 9.6 fantasy points in this contest, slightly more than his season-long average of 8.1 points per game. He's $3,200 on FanDuel.
