Bryant went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has been rolling lately with four home runs in his last six games, giving him a team-high nine long balls for the season. The 29-year-old started this game in left field with Joc Pederson (wrist) on the injured list and ended up shifting to center when Ian Happ (head) left the contest following an outfield collision. Bryant is of course usually stationed at third base, but it looks like he could play more in the outfield in the short term due to Chicago's injury situation.

Bryant went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
He took Wade Miley deep in the first inning, but things quickly went downhill for Chicago after that despite Bryant's efforts. The 29-year-old's performance capped a huge April that saw him hit .322 with seven homers and 19 RBI in 24 games.

Bryant went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant is rolling right now, as he's now batting .310 with a superb 1.011 OPS and 17 RBI through 23 games. After a down 2020 campaign, it looks like Bryant is back to his old form, and fantasy managers should enjoy the ride.

Bryant's absence from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta is due to a right biceps injury, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago, Bryant has been dealing with the issue for about a week and is available off the bench, so the Cubs don't appear to be overly concerned about it. Whether he'll return for Wednesday's game remains to be seen.

Bryant is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant will sit for just the second time this season. He's done everything he can to prove that his struggles last year were nothing more than a temporary blip, as he's hitting .289/.375/.618 with six homers in 21 games. David Bote starts at third base Tuesday, with Ian Happ sliding from center field to left, the spot Bryant had occupied in the previous four games.

Bryant went 1-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam in Monday's 8-7 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant took Charlie Morton deep in the third inning with the bases loaded, giving him six home runs and 16 RBI though 21 games. It's been a very promising start for the 2016 NL MVP, who is looking to rebound from a subpar 2020 campaign. If he keeps up this level of production, Bryant could push for his second MVP trophy by season's end.

Bryant went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 15-2 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant had three of the Cubs' 17 hits in the big win, and the 29-year-old has been hot at the plate recently. Over his past 10 games, Bryant is slashing .351/.419/.649 and he's pushed his season OPS up to a robust 1.041. He's also been playing a bit more often in the outfield lately, but Bryant figures to see plenty of time at third base moving forward as well.

Bryant went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 4-3, 10-inning win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was caught trying to steal second base in the contest, but otherwise it was a productive night for the 29-year-old, who made his second straight start in right field in place of the slumping Jason Heyward. Bryant has been heating up after a slow start of his own, and he's been able to bump his OPS up to .997, which would actually be the best mark of his MLB career if it holds up.

Bryant went 1-for-3 with a single, two walks and three runs scored in Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has been locked in at the plate lately, as he's slashed .400/.500/.800 with two home runs, four RBI, seven runs scored and a 3:1 BB:K over his last four games. After dealing with injuries for most of the 2020 season, Bryant looks fully healthy once again and has returned to being a difficult out for opposing pitchers.
