Kris Bryant (elbow) back for Cubs on Thursday
Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (elbow) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Bryant sat out of Wednesday's game after getting hit by a pitch on his elbow the previous night. He will return to third base and the No. 2 spot. Willson Contreras will shift to center in place of Victor Caratini and bat fifth.
numberFire's models expect Bryant to score 6.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. His salary is $2,900. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 3.63 runs.
