Javier Baez (groin) absent from Cubs' lineup on Tuesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez (groin) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
Baez is dealing with a minor groin issue that forced him to make an early exit from Monday's victory but it shouldn't cost him more than a game or two. Tommy La Stella will cover second base for the Cubs in Baez's absence on Tuesday.
Baez is averaging 15.2 FanDuel points per game this season. Assuming he's not facing a long-term absence, numberFire's models project Baez to bat .273 with 13 homers, 40 RBI, and 7 steals over the remainder of the year.
