Bryant (hamstring) remains sidelined for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant left Wednesday's game against the Phillies with a tight right hamstring and did not take part in Thursday's contest. The Cubs made a handful of moves Friday which didn't involve placing him on the injured list, however, which seemingly suggests they expect him to return over the weekend. Patrick Wisdom remains the third baseman in his absence.
