Baez (hip) said he's been running and swinging at 100 percent recently, Joey Johnston of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baez underwent a right hip labral repair last September and has been ramping up slowly during the winter months. The veteran shortstop made his Grapefruit League debut Friday, and although he went 0-for-2 with a walk as the DH, he said afterward that he felt good. Baez could bounce back some in 2025 if he's fully healthy, but he will likely see a reduced role, with the younger Trey Sweeney expected to see a lot of playing time at short.
