Set to return to lineup FridayBurger said that he's not dealing with any soreness or pain in his intercostal muscle, but he's out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays as a matter of caution, Noah Berger of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Advice: Burger was on the injured list from April 15 through May 6 with a left intercostal strain, and he appeared to tweak the muscle on a swing during Tuesday's 9-5 loss. He was able to stay in the game, and Burger's condition hasn't seemed to have taken a turn for the worse heading into Wednesday's series finale. However, with a team off day Thursday, both Burger and manager Skip Schumaker agreed that it was for the best for the third baseman to get a two-day break by exiting the lineup Wednesday. Burger is fully expected to be back in the starting nine Friday versus the Guardians. Rotowire.comJake BurgerMIA - 1B,3BBot 5, 2-2 vs CLE -
Jake Burger (oblique) takes day off as precautionJake Burger is getting Wednesday off after tweaking his oblique on a swing during Tuesday’s game.
Advice: Burger said he felt fine today and that this is just a precaution. He was sidelined from April 14 to May 5 after straining his left oblique. Expectations are that he’ll be in Friday’s lineup after the off day tomorrow. RotoworldJake BurgerMIA - 1B,3BBot 5, 2-2 vs CLE -
Not starting, could be hurtBurger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Advice: While Burger was likely overdue for a day off after making 17 consecutive starts dating back to May 15, his absence from the lineup Wednesday could be the result of an injury. As Christina De Nicola of MLB.com points out, Burger looked to have tweaked an intercostal muscle on a swing during Tuesday's 9-5 loss, though he stayed in the game after telling manager Skip Schumaker that he was fine. Burger was previously on the injured list from April 15 through May 6 with an intercostal strain, so fantasy managers will likely want to keep close tabs on his status heading into the Marlins' series versus the Guardians this weekend.

Collects three hits in lossBellinger went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Reds.
Advice: Bellinger played well, but the rest of Chicago's lineup could muster only five hits overall, which limited his ability to collect counting stats. The 28-year-old is batting .318 over his last 10 games with a home run, four runs scored and five RBI. If Bellinger gets more support from his teammates, he could really take off across the board, though he should have plenty of fantasy value either way given his ability to hit the ball over the fall and swipe a base on occasion.

On bench versus leftyBusch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Advice: It's the third straight game on the bench for the 26-year-old, and this time it comes as lefty Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds. Busch had a hot start to the campaign with a 1.062 OPS in his first 19 contests, but he has a .186/.292/.314 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate in his past 35 games. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base Sunday for the Cubs. Rotowire.comMichael BuschCHC - 1B,3BBot 5, 0-3 @CIN -
Back in lineup SundayCanha (hip) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Advice: As expected, the veteran will return to the lineup for the series finale after missing the last two games with a hip strain. Canha holds a slash line of .247/.358/.401 with 24 RBI and 27 runs this season. Rotowire.comMark CanhaDET - 1B,OFTop 7, 0-10 vs MIL -
Sitting again SaturdayBusch isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.
Advice: Busch is 4-for-13 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in his last six games, but he is likely to see a dip in playing time, as Pete Crow-Armstrong's arrival will force Cody Bellinger to start at first base more often. Rotowire.comMichael BuschCHC - 1B,3BBot 5, 0-3 @CIN -
Mark Canha (hip) expected to return on SundayMark Canha (hip) is expected to return to the Tigers’ lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Red Sox.
Advice: Canha sat out his second straight game on Saturday with the hip issue, but the training staff believe it’s something that he can manage and play through rather than something that’s going to require a trip to the injured list. He told reporters on Saturday, “Just happens when you get to be 35... I’ve never had this injury before, so it’s new. The same thing happens with me every year. You never know what’s going to pop up as you get older.” He’s considered day-to-day. RotoworldMark CanhaDET - 1B,OFTop 7, 0-10 vs MIL -
Expects to play SundayCanha (hip) expects to play a full game Sunday versus the Red Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Advice: Canha is dealing with a psoas strain in his left hip and his ability to return to the lineup Sunday will be a big test for his status moving forward. If he suffers a setback, the 35-year-old will likely head to the injured list. Rotowire.comMark CanhaDET - 1B,OFTop 7, 0-10 vs MIL
