Ben Zobrist hopes he can return to Cubs' lineup on Monday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (wrist) hopes to be back in the lineup on Monday.

What It Means:

The Cubs start a three game series in San Diego on Monday, so it seems that Zobrist has a good chance to make it back to the lineup then. He is out of the lineup again on Sunday for his second straight game. Javier Baez is starting at second base and leading off on Sunday against Clayton Kershaw.

Our models project Baez for 1.1 hits over 4.6 plate appearances with a 47.0 percent chance of scoring a run and a 35.0 percent chance of getting an RBI.
