Olt was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Reds due to his ailing wrist, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Olt exited Saturday's game against the Rockies after taking a pitch to the wrist, but his pinch-hit appearance in Sunday's series finale seemed to suggest the injury wasn't much an issue. After initially penciling Olt into Monday's lineup, manager Joe Maddon evidently had a change of heart, deciding that the third baseman could benefit from an extra day of rest. With the Cubs also down an option at third base with Tommy La Stella battling an oblique injury, Jonathan Herrera will step in to man the hot corner in place of Olt while slotting in at the ninth spot in the lineup.
