Analysis:

Josh Phegley will step in behind the plate Tuesday, as Flowers sits for the third time in four games. Flowers is batting .286 with four homers so far this month (28 at-bats) and remains the primary option for Chicago, though manager Robin Ventura seems to want to get a better look at both Phegley and Adrian Nieto with the remaining time.
