Anthony Rizzo absent from Cubs' lineup on Thursday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is not starting on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Rizzo is getting a breather after the Cubs clinched the National League Central on Wednesday. Victor Caratini will play first base and bat sixth versus Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn in tonight's series finale.

Rizzo is averaging 12.7 FanDuel points per game this season while slashing .274/.394/.510 with 32 home runs, 109 RBI, 99 runs scored, and 10 steals across 688 plate appearances (155 games).
