Impact Marisnick will provide outfield depth down the stretch for San Diego. He's appeared in 65 games this season and has a .227/.294/.438 slash line with five homers, 22 RBI, 17 runs and three stolen bases in 144 plate appearances.

Starting Sunday Marisnick is starting in center field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Jason Heyward and Ian Happ are both out of the lineup Sunday, so Marisnick gets center field, while Kris Bryant will cover right and Patrick Wisdom takes left. Marisnick is still in more of a fourth outfielder role with the Cubs, but a Bryant trade could open up more playing time for the former.

The 30-year-old has gone 4-for-14 with a homer, a triple, two RBI and three runs scored in his last five games. He's posted a .242/.312/.485 slash line with five long balls, three triples, 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases through 109 plate appearances.

Scores, steals base in loss Marisnick went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact Jason Heyward got a breather Wednesday, so the Cubs shifted Ian Happ to right field and used Joc Pederson in left, leaving center for Marisnick. He's capable of producing some decent stats when given the opportunity, but his fourth-outfielder role puts a cap on his current fantasy value.

Impact Marisnick missed almost an entire month due to a hamstring injury but didn't waste any time making an impact in his return to the lineup.

Back from injured list Marisnick (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The 30-year-old has been sidelined since May 9 by the hamstring strain but will rejoin the lineup Monday, as he's starting in center field and batting fifth in San Diego. Marisnick was off to a strong start this season with a .973 OPS and four homers through 27 games before the injury, and he should continue seeing regular time as Chicago's fourth outfielder.

Could be back Monday Cubs manager David Ross said Marisnick (hamstring) looked good during running drills Saturday, and the outfielder could be activated from the 10-day injured list as early as Monday...

Impact Slowly but surely, the Cubs are returning to full strength in the outfield. Jason Heyward was reinstated from the injured list Saturday, while Joc Pederson (back) is considered day-to-day and could be back in action for Monday's series opener in San Diego. If that's the case, Marisnick would likely have to settle for fourth-outfielder duties once he's reinstated, though he should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.
