APRIL 25, 2021 • Associated Press
Heads to bench Saturday Bote isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Bote had started each of the last three games and went 3-for-11 with five RBI and three runs during that time. Eric Sogard will start at second base Saturday, batting seventh.

LEADING OFF: Padres-Dodgers back at it, Astros struggling

Los Angeles right-hander Walker Buehler starts the opener of a four-game series against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on Thursday
APRIL 22, 2021 • Associated Press
Drives in four in rout Bote went 2-for-4 with a run scored and four RBI in Wednesday's 16-4 win over the Mets.
Impact Bote had two of the Cubs' 13 hits and helped lead the offensive onslaught. The infielder has been struggling this season with a .205 batting average, but as long as he holds onto the starting job at second base, he should maintain some degree of fantasy value in a lineup that could start to click at any moment.

Javier Báez hit a grand slam and the Chicago Cubs took advantage of a season-high four errors by the New York Mets in a 16-4 romp on a chilly night at Wrigley Field

Returns to lineup Bote (illness) is starting Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Bote sat out Tuesday's game as a COVID-19 precaution but has since tested negative and will play second base and bat seventh Wednesday. Bote has gone 4-for-12 with three extra-base hits, four RBI and a run in his last five games.

Sits as COVID-19 precaution Tuesday Bote was held out of Tuesday's game as a COVID-19 precaution, manager David Ross said, and the infielder has since tested negative, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Bote's absence was originally attributed to an upset stomach, so it's good to hear that it doesn't sound like anything more serious, though the Cubs were understandably cautious. Assuming Bote continues to test negative for COVID-19, he could be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday, assuming he feels better.

Arrieta pitches Cubs to 3-1 win over Mets on cool night

Jake Arrieta pitched five effective innings, Craig Kimbrel escaped a jam in the ninth and the Chicago Cubs used some aggressive baserunning to beat the New York Mets 3-1
APRIL 21, 2021 • Associated Press
Scratched from Tuesday's lineup Bote was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Mets with an upset stomach, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Eric Sogard slots into the lineup at second base. Bote should be considered day-to-day.
APRIL 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Homers, drives in four Saturday Bote went 2-for-4 with a double, a three-run home run and four RBI in Saturday's 13-4 win over Atlanta.
Impact Bote launched one of the six Chicago home runs, and it was a welcome offensive outburst for the 28-year-old, who came into Saturday with just three hits in 28 at-bats. He'll need to stay locked in at the plate to fend off Eric Sogard for playing time. Nico Hoerner is also waiting in the wings at Triple-A if Bote struggles.

Bryant, Contreras lead Cubs over Braves in Kazmar's return

Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras each homered twice, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Braves 13-4 on an afternoon when Atlanta returned Sean Kazmar Jr. to the major leagues for the f...
APRIL 17, 2021 • Associated Press
Returns to lineup Saturday Bote is starting at second base and batting eighth in Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Bote got Friday's game off with Eric Sogard starting at the keystone, but the former will return to the field Saturday. Bote is just 3-for-28 through 12 games this season, so if he doesn't get going at the plate soon, the Cubs may turn to Sogard more frequently.
APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Friday Bote is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Braves.
Impact Bote is 3-for-28 through 12 games this season and will take a seat Friday. Eric Sogard will start at the keystone and bat eighth for Chicago in his place.
APRIL 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Tuesday Bote is not starting Tuesday against the Brewers.
Impact Bote has started against all three lefties the Cubs have faced this season, but he's been in the lineup against just four of eight righties. Eric Sogard gets the nod at second base Tuesday against right-hander Brandon Woodruff.
APRIL 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out of Sunday's lineup Bote is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.
Impact The 28-year-old has yet to start three consecutive games this season, and that trend will continue Sunday with Eric Sogard starting at the keystone. Bote is 2-for-18 with one home run, two RBI and two walks through eight games this season.
APRIL 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Exits lineup Bote is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Bote will sit for the second time in the Cubs' six games to date, allowing Eric Sogard to pick up a start at second base. Despite recording just one hit -- a solo home run -- across his first 13 plate appearances of the season, Bote still appears to be locked in as an everyday player for Chicago.
APRIL 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Goes deep in Monday's win Bote went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Brewers.
Impact Bote went back-to-back with Javier Baez and blasted the Cubs' third home run of the fourth inning against Milwaukee starter Brett Anderson. It was the first long ball of the season for Bote, who is looking at regular playing time at second base. As long as he holds onto the starting role, he could surpass his career-high marks of 11 home runs and 41 RBI, both of which he recorded in 2019 while playing in 127 games.

Contreras, Báez, Bote HRs lift Cubs over Brewers 5-3

Willson Contreras, Javier Báez and David Bote homered during a four-run fourth inning to lift the Chicago Cubs over the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3
APRIL 6, 2021 • Associated Press
Riding pine Sunday Bote is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Impact When the Cubs demoted Nico Hoerner, manager David Ross suggested Bote would be the everyday second baseman. "This is less about Nico and more about David Bote," Ross told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. However, Bote is now set to sit the third game of the season in favor of Eric Sogard, so it does not seem like it will be a true everyday role.
APRIL 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Wins second base job Bote will be the Cubs' regular second baseman following the demotion of Nico Hoerner on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Both players have posted an OPS north of 1.000 this spring, so manager David Ross had a tough decision at the keystone, but he opted for the more experienced Bote. The 23-year-old Hoerner should play every day at Triple-A Iowa and could certainly factor into the Cubs' plans at some point this season. However, Bote will at least start the year getting his first crack at a regular role in the majors. The 27-year-old served as a valuable utility player in Chicago the past few seasons, but with more playing time likely coming his way in 2021, his fantasy outlook has improved.
