Anthony Rizzo (back) remains out Thursday for Cubs

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is out of the starting lineup again on Thursday versus the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

It's Rizzo's third consecutive absence, but he's expected to return for Friday's series opener against the Washington National. Victor Caratini, fresh off the injured list, is starting at first base Thursday and batting sixth versus Reds right-hander Luis Castillo.

Rizzo is batting .252/.379/.532 with 10 homers, 29 RBI, and 25 runs scored through 169 plate appearances.
