Baez’s Slump and Cardinals’ Left Field Search | St. Louis Cardinals News

Baez’s hot start—three homers in his first three at-bats—turned heads, but now he’s hitless in 17 at-bats and sat out Wednesday, signaling a rough patch. With Lars Nootbaar sidelined, the Cardinals desperately need left field production, but consistency has been elusive. While players like Church and Torres showed flashes, the offense remains quiet against the Reds. Expect a “by committee” approach to left field as the season winds down, with Baez likely returning—but not as a daily starter. The team’s biggest challenge? Finding offensive spark before the playoffs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
