David Bote out of Cubs' Friday lineup

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote is not in the starting lineup on Friday.

What It Means:

Bote, the regular third baseman in Kris Bryant's (shoulder) absence, will get a day off today. Javier Baez moves over to the hot corner and Ben Zobrist will play second base.

Our models project Bote to bat .300 with 1 home run, 4 runs, 4 RBI, and 1 stolen base in 34 more plate appearances this season.
