Cubs' Anthony Rizzo: Out of Wednesday's lineup

Rizzo is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

Analysis:

He has started every game since July 30, but the Cubs will take advantage of their unmatched depth and huge lead in the standings to give him a day off while still deploying a pretty intimidating lineup Wednesday. Kris Bryant will man first base and hit second while Ben Zobrist steps into Rizzo's typical spot in the three hole.
