Kris Bryant is easily the Chicago Cubs’ best player when healthy and doing great Kris Bryant-like things. Meanwhile, Yu Darvish is one of the MLB’s better pitchers when healthy and pitching up to his capabilities.
Unfortunately for the Cubs, both Bryant and Darvish have struggled to stay healthy this season. The third baseman has played in just 76 games, missing extended time on multipe occasions due to a shoulder injury. Darvish has only made eight starts in a Cubs uniform.
Bryant is having a down year for his standards, though he has fared quite well, overall.
