ST. LOUIS - When Javy Baez was scratched from the Cubs' lineup Saturday, it understandably sent shock waves through the fanbase.
Any time Baez misses, it's a huge deal, as he's arguably the most important player on the Cubs roster.
But this was even more cause for concern given it's the same heel injury he's been dealing with for two weeks and the Cubs just had a day off Thursday.
Less than 24 hours later, Baez is back in the lineup and at shortstop again for Sunday's series finale against the Cardinals. Joe Maddon talked Saturday about the possibility of Baez playing third base when he returns to the lineup, to reduce the lateral movement in the field, which is when the heel really acts up.
