Bote will start at second base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Bote has mostly served as a utility man over the past month, but he's poised to finish the season as a near-everyday player after Patrick Wisdom (wrist) was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. With Matt Duffy moving over to Wisdom's usual post at third base, Bote will cover the keystone for the fourth straight contest. He went a collective 3-for-9 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run in Chicago's previous three games.
