LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Dodgers.
LeMahieu will grab a seat on the bench to open the three-game series against the Dodgers. With Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Rizzo and Josh Donaldson back in the lineup, it's likely LeMahieu will see his playing time limited some against right-handed pitching, but that will at least be partially determined by how well Donaldson plays in the coming weeks.
