Chicago Cubs star Kris Bryant did not play Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a stomach illness. Manager Joe Maddon said he will also miss Saturday's game, per Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago.
The slugger was a major reason the Cubs snapped their 108-year title drought in 2016 seeing how he won National League MVP behind slash totals of .292/.385/.554, 39 home runs and 102 RBI. Bryant's versatility was also critical, as he saw time at third base, first base, shortstop, left field, center field and right field, per FanGraphs.
