Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez was pulled from Monday night’s game against the Miami Marlins with an injury.
During the seventh inning, Baez crouched down following a double and called for the team trainer to come out and see him. He was pulled shortly after.

It could obviously a precautionary move, as the Cubs had a 9-1 lead at the time.
Baez hit a three-run home run earlier in the game that gave the Cubs a 5-0 lead. He’s gone deep in three straight games and leads MLB with 32 RBIs.
Baez said his back was bothering him following the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals, but said it wasn’t anything to be worried about. Maybe a few days off could help.
