Henry Baez: Everything you need to know

Baez (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Baez missed the start of the 2026 campaign due to an elbow injury. He's appeared in two games since being activated, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out eight across 4.2 innings.

Double-A Midland placed Baez on the 7-day injured list April 2 with an elbow injury, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports. Acquired from San Diego in last year's Mason Miller trade, Baez dealt with a forearm injury at the end of 2025 and is now out indefinitely to start 2026.

Baez was optioned to Double-A Midland on Sunday. Baez will head to Double-A after tossing a scoreless inning, striking out two batters and hitting another, in his only appearance with the Athletics during spring training. The 23-year-old combined to produce a 2.36 ERA with 101 strikeouts over 110.2 innings in 24 starts with Double-A San Antonio and Double-A Midland last season.
