Bryant was diagnosed with a right hand contusion Tuesday after X-rays came back negative, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman was struck on the right hand by a pitch during his first plate appearance Tuesday, though it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Bryant should be considered day-to-day, and it wouldn't be a major surprise to see him receive a day or two off to help avoid any further issues.

Bryant is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant will be joined on the bench by Javier Baez (thumb) and Willson Contreras, as manager David Ross seems to be treating Wednesday's series finale and Thursday's team off day as a means of giving some extra rest to key regulars. With the red-hot Patrick Wisdom having at least temporarily secured a full-time role at third base, Bryant has been seeing most of his action in the outfield of late; each of his last seven starts have come in left, center or right field.

Bryant went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant launched his 13th homer of the season in the first inning off veteran Scott Kazmir, but he was silent the rest of the way. The star third baseman has been seeing the ball extremely well of late, hitting safely in all but one of his last 16 games. Bryant is batting .344 with a .947 OPS, three homers, 13 RBI and six runs scored in that span.

Bryant went 2-for-4 with a triple, a two-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his third-inning triple, then added his 12th home run of the season in the fifth for good measure. The 2016 National League MVP has returned to superstar status this season, as he's now slashing .324/.406/.611 with 36 RBI and 36 runs scored through 50 games.

EDGE Analysis
Bryant put the Cubs on the board with his solo blast in the top of the first inning, and he provided the team with some insurance in the top of the ninth. The 29-year-old is now slashing .320/.405/.604 with 11 home runs, 33 runs and 32 RBI this season.
