Kris Bryant (illness) a last-minute scratch from Cubs' lineup
Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (illness) was a late scratch from the starting lineup on Friday.
What It Means:
Bryant was scheduled to bat second, but when it was his turn to bat in the top of the first, Jon Jay came up instead. The Cubs then announced the 2016 National League Most Valuable Player would not play due to a stomach illness. Jeimer Candelario is batting fifth and playing at third in Bryant's place.
Bryant is batting .299/.401/.547 with 7 home runs, 18 RBI's, 23 runs scored, and 4 stolen bases in 162 plate appearances this season.
