Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez left Monday's game against the Miami Marlins after suffering tightness in his right groin, the Chicago Tribune's Mark Gonzales reported.
Baez was 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the third inning before exiting. Tommy La Stella replaced him at second base.
Baez dealt with hamstring tightness during spring training. Entering camp, he had proved to be fairly durable, averaging 144 games in his first two full seasons in the majors. Add in 27 postseason games during that span, and he has proved to be dependable.
