Stays in lineup Wednesday Bote will start at third base and will bat eighth Wednesday against the Pirates.
Impact Though Bote will get his third start in four games at the hot corner, he'll likely have to look to other positions in order to find playing time in September. Kris Bryant (wrist) slotted back in at third base in his return from the injured list Tuesday and went 2-for-6, but he'll be getting a breather after playing all 11 innings in the Cubs' 8-7 win.

Homers and drives in four Bote went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and four RBI in Monday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.
Impact Bote feasted against Detroit rookie Casey Mize, as he plated two with a single in the second inning then launched his fourth home run of the season in the fourth. Bote added an RBI single against John Schreiber in the ninth for good measure. The 27-year-old infielder has been playing more often recently with Kris Bryant (finger/wrist) on the 10-day injured list, and he's capable of producing big games in a strong Chicago lineup.
