Launches 16th homer Bryant went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.
Impact The 29-year-old took Tyler Mahle deep in the third inning for his 16th homer of the year, giving the Cubs a 2-0 lead, but it was the last gasp for the Chicago offense. Bryant has five hits in two games to begin July as he tries to put a rough June (.114/.205/.241 in 23 games) behind him.

Reenters lineup Friday Bryant (side) is starting in center field and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Reds, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Bryant returns to the lineup after missing the last two games with side soreness. He'll also appear in center field for the 13th time this season. Coming into the year, Bryant had played center just 10 times total in his MLB career, but he certainly has the athleticism to field the position capably. Fantasy managers, meanwhile, are more interested in his 15 home runs and .847 OPS, which is up more than 200 points from 2020.

Impact The extent of Bryant's injury is unclear, as is his status for Wednesday's game. If the 29-year-old misses any time beyond Tuesday, Eric Sogard and Patrick Wisdom will likely share the load at third base, with Jason Heyward getting more regular playing time in right field.

In 23 games through the end of June, however, he's hit just .114/.205/.241 with three homers. He'll get a day to clear his head, with Eric Sogard starting at third base.
