Jorge Soler is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Braves.

Soler is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Braves.

Analysis:

Soler had been the primary left fielder in Chicago since Kyle Schwarber's knee injury, but has recently been losing time to Kris Bryant at that spot, as manager Joe Maddon has been giving both Tommy La Stella and Javier Baez multiple starts at third base (Bryant's regular position). With Bryant returning from an ankle injury to start Sunday, Soler will be the odd man out against righty Julio Teheran and the Braves.
