After nearly a weeklong absence, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is back in the Chicago Cubs’ lineup Saturday.
After getting hit in the head with a 96 MPH fastball last Sunday in Colorado, Bryant sat out four games, but he’s back in for the Cubs on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Bryant was never diagnosed with a concussion after a pitch hit his helmet, but the Cubs handled their prized third baseman with an abundance of caution, and understandably so. He had been off to a fine start to 2018, hitting .319 so far this season.
