Goes long Friday Bryant went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact The Cubs managed just five hits on the night and Bryant's was the only one that went for extra bases when he took Tony Gonsolin deep to center field on the first pitch he saw. The 25-year-old otherwise had a quiet outing as his slash line stands at .273/.360/.522 with 15 homers, 41 RBI, 45 runs scored four stolen bases and a 31:68 BB:K. Bryant has been slumping recently with just five hits in his last 13 games but he's still making good contact, as his 39.3 percent hard-hit rate is the highest he's had since his MVP season in 2016.

Blasts 14th home run Bryant went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Cleveland.
Impact Bryant now has 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 43 runs scored in 68 games this season as he continues to produce at a high level. The 29-year-old hasn't been as dynamic as he was back in his 2016 MVP campaign, but he's still delivering for fantasy managers after a disappointing 2020 season in which he posted a career-worst .644 OPS across 34 games.

Impact The third baseman was struck on the right hand by a pitch during his first plate appearance Tuesday, though it appears he's avoided a serious injury.
