Bryant (finger/wrist) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant had been on the injured list for two weeks with a sprained left ring finger and a sore left wrist. He wasn't living up to expectations prior to his absence, hitting just .177/.271/.323 in 70 plate appearances, though his .225 BABIP undoubtedly contributed to his struggles.

Bryant (finger/wrist) could return to the active roster as early as Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant hit off the pitching machine Sunday and is slated to take live at-bats at the Cubs' alternate training site Monday. Assuming that goes well, he could return to action for the series opener in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Manager David Ross said earlier in the day there were no plans to place the 28-year-old on the injured list, but apparently things changed when he was later evaluated. Bryant has been sidelined for the past five games since sustaining the injuries on a dive attempt last week. He received an injection in the wrist Tuesday and still needs more time to get healthy. Bryant will be eligible to be activated for next Saturday's doubleheader in Cincinnati, though it's unclear if he's expected to be ready by that point.

Cubs manager David Ross said Saturday that Bryant (wrist) remains day-to-day and that there is currently no plan to place him on the injured list, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been held out for five consecutive games although he has been rehabbing throughout the absence; he took light swings Friday and has been getting daily treatment on his wrist. There is still no clear timetable for his return, but the fact that he's not likely for a trip to the injured list is encouraging for his outlook.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old received an injection in his left wrist Tuesday, and he'll miss his fourth straight contest. He is scheduled to take swings Friday for the first time since the injection and is still considered day-to-day, according to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. Bryant was struggling at the plate even before the injury with a .594 OPS and 20 strikeouts in 70 plate appearances. David Bote receives another start at the hot corner in his place.

Bryant (wrist) is out of the lineup as expected in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been dealing with a wrist injury since late last week. He underwent an injection to address the issue Tuesday, which was expected to keep him sidelined until Friday, so it would be quite surprising to see him return for the nightcap. Nico Hoerner starts at third base in his absence.

Bryant received an injection in his left wrist Tuesday that is expected to keep him sidelined at least two days, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has been banged up in recent games, and he'll be sidelined while his wrist heals. Manager David Ross is hopeful that he'll be able to return for the team's series opener against the White Sox on Friday, but the team will have to see how his wrist responds to the treatment. The 28-year-old carries a .594 OPS with two home runs, four RBI and 20 strikeouts through 16 games this season.
