Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Cleveland with a right knee contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Schwarber was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's contest, and the injury will keep him out of the starting nine for Game 2 of the Cubs' series against Cleveland. Manager David Ross said that he could be available as a pinch hitter Wednesday but that he'd try to stay away from using him. Kris Bryant will shift to left field with David Bote entering the lineup as the third baseman.
