Chicago Cubs third baseman/left fielder Kris Bryant (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Zac Gallen and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Bryant was held out the last two games due to right hamstring fatigue. The 29-year-old vet will bat second and play left field in place of Ian Happ on Friday. Anthony Rizzo will hit third after hitting second last game.
Bryant has a $9,000 salary on Friday's one-game afternoon slate and numberFire’s models project him to lead all batters in the contest with 13.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an inviting implied total of 5.3 runs. Gallen is registering a 27.3 strikeout percentage with an 11.2 walk percentage this season.
