DAVID BOTE NEWS

Nabs another start Bote will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After going 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 win, Bote will be rewarded Wednesday with his fourth start in a row. So long as Nico Hoerner (triceps) and Nick Madrigal (groin) are sidelined with injuries, Bote should have a fairly clear path to regular run in the Chicago infield.

Tallies two hits Saturday Bote went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Giants.

Impact This was Bote's first multi-hit effort since July 10 and just his second of the season. The utility man has played in only 19 games this year, as the start of his campaign was delayed due to shoulder surgery and a bout of dizziness. He also missed some time after injuring his shoulder in a collision with teammate Nico Hoerner. Bote is still batting a solid .271 through 48 at-bats, and he'll look to finish 2022 healthy and playing well.

Starting at second Sunday Bote is starting at second base and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Bote will start at second for the second straight contest and he's been good at the plate lately, as he's riding a five-game hitting streak. During that time, the versatile 29-year-old has gone 6-for-12 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored. If Bote keeps seeing regular playing time, he could be in line for a solid second half of the season.

Fills stat sheet in loss Bote went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, three RBI, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in Sunday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Bote did seemingly a little bit of everything Sunday, which included a three-run homer in the third inning. He got on base in all four of his plate appearances, with this counting as his first multi-hit game of the year. The 29-year-old has hit .280 with a homer, three RBI, six runs scored, a steal and two doubles in 11 contests since making his season debut June 24. Bote should continue to contend for playing time at first base and second base.
