Daniel Descalso

Daniel Descalso on Cubs' bench Wednesday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Descalso is not starting on Wednesday against left-hander Cole Irvin and the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Javier Baez (heel) is back at shortstop, so Addison Russell is sliding to second base while Descalso heads to the bench.

numberFire's models expect Descalso to record 8 homers, 33 RBI, and 33 runs scored over the rest of the season.
