4 years agoChicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) will return to the Cubs lineup on Thursday versus the Washington Nationals. Rizzo left Tuesday's contest early with lower back tightness and sat out on Wednesday. It's big news for managers that Rizzo won't need an injured list stint. Despite that, Rizzo has a history of back issues and managers should make sure to have an insurance option in case his back flares up again. Rizzo will bat second versus Joe Ross and can safely be started in all formats.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
