Kris Bryant (oblique) remained out of the Cubs’ starting lineup on Thursday. Bryant hasn’t appeared in a game since exiting Monday night’s series opener against the Pirates with lower right oblique discomfort, and Cubs manager David Ross said Wednesday that he is unsure whether Bryant will be able to return before the end of the regular season. David Bote is back at third base Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Yasmani Grandal went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts in his return to the White Sox lineup Thursday. Grandal missed two games after getting hit in the right hand by a foul tip on Monday. Even though it seemed like an injury that could affect him offensively, the White Sox put him right back into the third spot in the lineup tonight.
