Maddon told reporters during pre-game that Bryant was scheduled for a day off a few days ago and this has nothing to do with his recent slump. Bryant is batting only .231 with a homer and six RBIs this season. Kris Bryant is out of the #Cubs lineup on Saturday, but the move is part of the team's new lineup plan, according to Joe Maddon. pic.twitter.com/lL24xONJ3T Cubs lineup vs. Angels: Ben Zobrist RF Javier Baez SS David Bote 3B Pitching Matchup: Kyle Hendricks (0-2, 6.48 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cubs against righty Chris Stratton (0-1, 6.48 ERA).
