Marisnick was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after sustaining a right hamstring strain while chasing down a fly ball off the bat of Wilmer Difo in the first inning of Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.

So we can expect Bryant in CF. Heyward had his hand checked also. No word on him

They might as well make Duffy the starting 3B at this point with the OF dropping like flies.

• Matt Duffy has been a solid contributor for the Cubs, hitting .284/.379/.370 over 95 plate appearances while getting the bulk of third base playing time since Kris Bryant has been regularly deployed in the outfield. According to The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma, Duffy has long been on the Cubs’ radar, as the team tried to land Duffy both in the 2019-20 offseason and last summer, before Duffy instead inked minor league contracts with the Rangers in the winter and then the Yankees after Texas released him before the season. Duffy didn’t end up seeing any MLB action in 2020, and his agent Paul Cohen tells Mooney and Sharma that “I probably had half a dozen teams reach out to me: ’Would [Duffy] be interested in joining our front office or our coaching staff?’ That’s the kind of impression this guy has made through his travels.”
