Draws start in finale Bote (undisclosed) will start at second base and will bat seventh Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact Manager David Ross said Friday that Bote recently experienced a flareup of a minor injury he had been nursing, but the issue didn't prevent the 27-year-old from coming off the bench to pick up two at-bats in Saturday's 9-5 loss. Now that he's checking back into the lineup for the regular-season finale, Bote's health won't be in any question heading into the postseason.

Stays in lineup Wednesday Bote will start at third base and will bat eighth Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Though Bote will get his third start in four games at the hot corner, he'll likely have to look to other positions in order to find playing time in September.

Homers and drives in four Bote went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

Impact Bote feasted against Detroit rookie Casey Mize, as he plated two with a single in the second inning then launched his fourth home run of the season in the fourth. Bote added an RBI single against John Schreiber in the ninth for good measure. The 27-year-old infielder has been playing more often recently with Kris Bryant (finger/wrist) on the 10-day injured list, and he's capable of producing big games in a strong Chicago lineup.
