Taking seat against southpaw
Ballesteros is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Análise
Carlos Santana will step in at designated hitter in place of the left-handed-hitting Ballesteros, who will sit for the second time in the series while the Reds send another lefty (Andrew Abbott) to the bump. Since being called up from Triple-A Iowa on Sept. 9, Ballesteros has posted a .999 OPS over nine games. He should have a clear path to regular playing time against right-handed pitching while Kyle Tucker (calf) remains on the shelf.

Goes deep again in win
Ballesteros went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Pirates.
Análise
Ballesteros has settled in as Chicago's primary designated hitter recently, having started the last six games, and he's responding well at the plate. The 21-year-old rookie has gone 8-for-21 across those six contests with a triple, two home runs, three RBI and five runs scored. With Kyle Tucker (calf) on the injured list, the Cubs have used more of Willi Castro and Seiya Suzuki in right field, which has opened the door at DH for Ballesteros. He should maintain elevated fantasy value this season for however long Tucker remains out, and the youngster's long-term outlook remains promising.

Drawing fourth straight start
Ballesteros will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Monday's game against the Pirates.
Análise
Ballesteros will be awarded his fourth straight start after he went 5-for-10 with one home run, one triple, two walks, two RBI and three runs during the Cubs' series versus the Rays over the weekend. Though he's made the most of his opportunities since being called up from Triple-A Iowa last Tuesday, Ballesteros' playing time could be squeezed once Seiya Suzuki (illness) makes his return to the lineup.
