Bryant (knee) is back in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates. Bryant had banged up his knee sliding during the Cubs' recent series in Cincinnati, so manager Joe Maddon decided to give him Wednesday off. He will slot back into the lineup against right-hander Jordan Lyles, and Bryant will occupy the three hole after exclusively batting second to this point. Following a slow start, Bryant hit .300 or better in May and June and now ranks 14th in the NL in OPS with a .921 mark.

Bryant is not starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates due to his knee being banged up, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports. Bryant appears to be dealing with nothing worse than scrapes and bruises, so it does seem as though he'll miss much time. David Bote starts at the hot corner in his absence.
