Sitting Tuesday Rizzo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.
Impact The first baseman gets a day off amidst a tough, 12-game stretch in which he's hit just .154. Rizzo has homered three times in that span, though. Kris Bryant will fill in at first base Tuesday, with Patrick Wisdom playing third.

Connects for ninth home run Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.
Impact Rizzo is quietly getting going at the plate, as he now has nine home runs, 31 RBI and an .809 OPS this season. He's hit four of those long balls this month already, so while his overall numbers aren't jumping off the page compared to his usual standards, the slugging first baseman should produce good stats for fantasy managers the rest of the way.

Slugs eighth homer Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.
Impact It's the third homer in the last six games for the first baseman, giving him eight long balls on the year. Rizzo has found his stroke at the plate in June, slashing .286/.327/.531 with 11 RBI in 13 games as he looks to erase a sluggish start to the season.

Goes deep in win Rizzo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact Rizzo made his lone hit count, connecting for his seventh home run of the season in the sixth inning. The slugging first baseman isn't delivering his usual power production, though he's chugging along with a .308 batting average this month. If he keeps making consistent contact, expect more balls to leave the yard in short order.

Lofts homer, four RBI Rizzo went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, two runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 triumph over the Padres.
Impact Rizzo laced a two-run double as part of a four-run sixth and later launched a two-run home run the next inning to extend the lead to 7-0. The long ball was a welcome sight as it was only the veteran first baseman's sixth all season and his first since May 2. While Rizzo's on base and average are near his career rates, a .445 slugging is well below a career .483.

Records two hits, scores run Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Padres.
Impact Rizzo has recorded hits in five of the Cubs' last eight games and has posted three multi-hit games in that span, though the lack of power has been an issue for the first baseman -- he's gone 25 straight games without a dinger and has gone yard just five times all year long. He's hitting .261 with a .775 OPS on the season.
