Analysis:
An MRI taken on Bryant's ankle Thursday night did not reveal any serious issues, and the Cubs are not concerned about Bryant's status, but it appears the team could hold him out for a few days to allow him to get back to 100 percent. Javier Baez will start at third base Friday, and the Cubs figure to use either him or Tommy La Stella at the hot corner until Bryant returns.
