Kris Bryant (hamstring) back in Cubs' lineup Friday
Chicago Cubs third baseman/left fielder Kris Bryant (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zac Gallen and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Bryant was held out the last two games due to right hamstring fatigue. The 29-year-old vet will bat second and play left field in place of Ian Happ on Friday. Anthony Rizzo will hit third after hitting second last game.
