Gets second game off of season Schwarber is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

Impact Though Schwarber will be withheld from the starting nine for the afternoon contest, expect him to check back into the lineup for the nightcap. While Schwarber rests up, Kris Bryant will cover left field in his stead. Through the Cubs' first 12 games of August, Schwarber is slashing .263/.378/.474 with two home runs, seven runs and five RBI.

Hits third home run Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

Impact Schwarber took Milwaukee starter Brett Anderson deep in the second inning for his third home run of the season. The slugger hasn't provided a ton of power in the early going, but it was nice to see him go deep against a lefty. Last season, Schwarber had a .756 OPS and six home runs against lefties versus a .900 OPS and 32 long balls against righties.

Bryant held out of Cubs' lineup versus Brewers

Slugger Kris Bryant was held out of the surging Chicago Cubs starting lineup against Milwaukee on Thursday night with a sore left wrist and ring finger

AUGUST 13, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Late addition to Thursday's lineup Schwarber (knee) was added to the Cubs' lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

Impact After Kris Bryant (finger) was scratched from Thursday's lineup for the season opener against Milwaukee, Schwarber was added to the five-hole as the left fielder. The Cubs had been bringing Schwarber along slowly after he was hit by a pitch on the right knee Tuesday, but he was healthy enough to pinch hit Wednesday.

Remains out Thursday Schwarber (knee) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Brewers.

Impact Schwarber missed Wednesday's game against Cleveland with a right knee contusion and apparently still isn't 100 percent. Kris Bryant is covering left field in his stead Thursday, with David Bote picking up another start at the hot corner as a result.

Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Cleveland with a right knee contusion.

Impact Schwarber was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's contest, and the injury will keep him out of the starting nine for Game 2 of the Cubs' series against Cleveland. Manager David Ross said that he could be available as a pinch hitter Wednesday but that he'd try to stay away from using him. Kris Bryant will shift to left field with David Bote entering the lineup as the third baseman.

Serving as DH Schwarber will be the designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact This will be just the second time in 10 games this season that Schwarber will serve as the DH, so manager David Ross has been true to his word that the slugger would frequently play in the field. Schwarber has posted an .851 OPS and two home runs through the Cubs' first nine games. Expect him to be back in left field as soon as Tuesday.

Not in lineup Monday Caratini isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Kyle Schwarber will serve as the designated hitter with David Bote entering the starting nine at third base, batting seventh.

Starting in left again Schwarber is starting in left field and batting fourth in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact That's three straight starts in left field to begin the season for Schwarber. Manager David Ross talked before the year about how he didn't view Schwarber as the team's DH, and so far, he's sticking to that. Victor Caratini and Willson Contreras have alternated between catching and serving as DH so far in 2020.
