Cubs' Javier Baez on the bench Wednesday
Chicago Cubs utility player Javier Baez is sitting to start Wednesday night's road game against the Chicago White Sox.
After starting three straight, the Swiss-army knife of a utility man will take a seat in favor of Ben Zobrist at second and Jason Heyward in right. Both will oppose James Shields at Guaranteed Rate Field this evening.
numberFire's algorithms expect Baez to add 6 home runs, 23 RBI and 21 runs over the remainder of the season with the Cubs.
