Albert Almora Jr. absent from Cubs' lineup on Thursday
Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Ian Happ is taking over in centerfield, so Almora will head to the bench. Happ is batting out of the eighth spot against righty Matt Harvey.
Our models project Almora for a .291 batting average with 5 home runs, 30 runs scored, 28 RBI, and 2 steals over 248 plate appearances remaining this season.
