Previously, his off days had come mainly against lefties, but he's now sat against three of the last five righties the Cubs have faced. Given that he's hitting just .168/.250/.297 on the season, that loss of playing time should come as no surprise. Kris Bryant will play right field Friday, with Patrick Wisdom starting at third base.
