Kyle Schwarber (ribs) scratched from Cubs' lineup Wednesday

Chicago Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber has been scratched from the team's lineup Wednesday with soreness in his ribs.

What It Means:

Schwarber had been slated to bat second and play left field. Instead, Chris Coghlan will now occupy both of those roles while the newly-acquired Austin Jackson enters the lineup in the six hole and in right field.

The lack of Schwarber in the lineup is a knock to the daily fantasy value of all Cubs batters at the top of the order. The lone beneficiary is Reds' starter Raisel Iglesias. Iglesias enters with a 3.29 xFIP in 80 1/3 innings and is averaging 9.75 strikeouts per nine innings. The Cubs have the second-highest strikeout percentage in the league against right-handed pitching. Iglesias may not be a safe play with how great the Cubs' offense has been, but he certainly has upside with the high strikeout potential the matchup presents.
