'El Mago' showed visible pain and tossed his bat away in disgust after getting plunked by pitcher Cal Quantrill. Baez then talked a few seconds with Cubs manager David Ross before going into the clubhouse for treatment. The Cubs announced that he was pulled as an "abundance of precaution", and they are calling it a forearm contusion. Everything sounds like he escaped any type of serious injury.
