Undergoes surgery
Baez underwent surgery on his left thumb Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baez has been held out of action at Double-A Corpus Christi since the end of August due to his injured thumb, and the procedure will officially put an early end to his second year of professional baseball. The 20-year-old outfield prospect slashed .258/.301/.462 with 21 homers and 76 RBI across 468 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A, and he's expected to be ready to go for the start of next season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Astros farm system is as weak as it has been in recent memory, and Baez is arguably the most appealing player in the system for dynasty leagues. A righty-hitting slugger who received $1.3 million out of the Dominican Republic, the 6-foot-1 Baez slashed .248/.357/.481 with 11 home runs, a 24.3 percent strikeout rate and a 12.9 percent walk rate in 58 games across complex ball and Single-A. His exit velocities were extreme for a 19-year-old, and he projects to be a classic power-over-hit right fielder with a plus arm. Baez isn't a great athlete, so he'll need to be a quality run producer to garner everyday playing time in a corner. He should spend the bulk of his age-20 season at High-A Asheville, where the cozy home park at high altitude should allow him to put up cartoonish numbers.
