Javier Baez Won’t Start Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (heel) will not start on Tuesday. Manager Joe Maddon announced the news on a local radio station and Baez remains day-to-day with a heel contusion.

Chicago Cubs infielder Daniel Descalso went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBI on Monday versus the Phillies. Descalso has been getting a decent amount of plate appearances for the Cubs, but does not own an everyday role and is more useful in DFS.

Charlie Tilson Stays Hot

Chicago White Sox outfielder Charlie Tilson picked up two more hits on Monday to raise his batting average to .327 on the season. Tilson has been on fire since being recalled on May 6. Tilson doesn’t offer much power, but he offers speed with three stolen bases. Tilson may not be a long term answer, […]

Javier Baez Out On Monday

Kris Bryant Goes Deep Three Times

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant stayed hot on Friday versus the Nationals. The slugger went 4-for-6 with three home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.

Kyle Schwarber Will Bat First On Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber will bat first versus the Reds on Thursday night. Schwarber is known for his powerful bat, but also has good on-base skills. It will be the first time Schwarber has hit at the top of the order this season and he has the ability to score some runs in a […]

Addison Russell Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Russell finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI.
