The good news, Javier Baez is penciled in, batting fourth and at shortstop. The bad news… both Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo are not in the lineup. Can you say #HugWatch

Now, this could be a planned day off for both. The Cubs played a night game last night, both players have had a lot of rumors floating around about them causing stress, and the Cubs play a late game tomorrow in Washington. So, yes… this could be absolutely innocent.
Or….
THE WORLD IS FALLING APART AND THE CUBS ARE NEARING A DEAL FOR BOTH AND I’M GOING TO HATE IT ALL!!!!
Someone hold me…
