AAA: Iowa Cubs (4-3 record on the week)
Injuries suck, man. Why can’t we turn them off like we can in a video game? Javy Baez fractured his ring finger Sunday sliding headfirst into 2nd base. The timing is extremely unfortunate. Baez had transitioned to third base in the expectation that he might get the call to the big leagues soon. Prior to getting hurt, Baez had a very good week at the plate, going 10-29 with 3 home runs and 8 RBI. Get well soon, Javy.
No one had a better week at the dish than Christian Villanueva.
