Albert Almora Jr. out of the Cubs' lineup against Tampa
Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's road game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
What It Means:

Almora is slashing .299/.341/.441 with 7 home runs and 45 RBI through 122 games in 2017. numberFire's models project him to bat .286 while adding 1 home run and 3 RBI in 30 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
