Kris Bryant (shoulder) batting sixth for Cubs in Monday's series opener

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is batting sixth versus right-hander Jameson Taillon and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday.

What It Means:

Bryant, who was held out of Sunday's contest due to shoulder fatigue, has never lined up lower in the order in his major league career. He is 19-for-69 (.275) with 1 home run, 5 RBI, 10 runs scored, and 6 walks drawn, compared to 27 strikeouts, in 20 games since returning from the disabled list at the end of the month. David Bote will be available off the bench.
