Delivers clutch home run Bote delivered a go-ahead, three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Impact The Cubs were hitless through five innings but got going in the sixth, and Bote capped the frame with his clutch home run. The long ball, his third of the season, put Chicago up 5-4, which ended up being the final score. Bote doesn't have an everyday role, but he seems to have a knack for delivering some big hits when he's in the lineup.

Starting Sunday Bote is starting at third base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact The Cubs had to juggle their lineup a little bit with Jason Heyward getting scratched due to back tightness. They shifted Kyle Schwarber from DH to the outfield and moved Kris Bryant from third base to DH. That opened up the hot corner for Bote. The 27-year-old is slashing .222/.333/.417 in 13 games this season.

Starting at third Monday Bote is starting at third base and batting sixth in Monday's game against the Royals.
Impact Kris Bryant is back in the lineup Monday after missing two games due to gastrointestinal issues, but he'll start in left field, opening third up for Bote. Bryant should mainly play at the hot corner moving forward, which would relegate Bote to backing up at second and third. Bote has a strong 1.048 OPS and two home runs in six games this season, so he offers some upside on days he cracks the lineup.

Goes deep Tuesday Bote went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Reds.
Impact Bote made his second consecutive start and hit his first home run of the season. The 27-year-old doesn't have an everyday role, but he's versatile enough to start at second or third, and he should find his way into the lineup a few times per week. That keeps Bote's fantasy upside capped for the moment, though an injury to a Chicago regular could boost his stock.

Not in lineup Monday Caratini isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Impact Caratini had a spot in the starting lineup over each of the first three games with the addition of the designated hitter in the National League, but he'll play a bench role in the team's first road contest Monday. Kyle Schwarber will serve as the designated hitter with David Bote entering the starting nine at third base, batting seventh.

To serve in utility role Chicago manager David Ross said Jason Kipnis and Nico Hoerner will be his primary options at second base, leaving Bote to work in a utility role for the Cubs, Jordan Bastian of MLB...
Impact Second base seemed to be the Cubs' only open infield spot heading into summer camp, but it's gotten some clarity with Kipnis and Hoerner set to work in a left-right platoon. This leaves Bote with a similar utility role that he's had the past few seasons. He could potentially see a little more time at third early in the year if Ross uses Kris Bryant more at first base with Anthony Rizzo (back) possibly missing some games.
