As a result, he was benched for a few games. However, upon his return, Baez showed glimpses of his All-Star caliber. Unfortunately, in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays on April 13th, he made a costly mistake by losing track of the number of outs and running into a double play. This led to him being benched in the second inning. Despite this setback, Baez has made strong contributions to the team in certain games since his return.
