Bruce is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis:
Bruce was scheduled to sit out Saturday, but after the game was postponed, manager Bryan Price elected to stick with the same lineup Sunday. The outfielder has been stuck in an 0-for-11 funk over his last three starts, but his absence from the lineup shouldn't become an ongoing trend. Brennan Boesch will man right field in Bruce's place Sunday.
