BRIEF: Kris Bryant hitless for Iowa Cubs; service time date looms

April 16--Thursday could represent Kris Bryant's final day at Triple-A Iowa.

It also could be a long day as Bryant and Iowa are scheduled to play a doubleheader Thursday night at New Orleans.

Bryant went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and got hit by a pitch Wednesday in a 3-2 loss at New Orleans.

The Cubs could wait until Friday morning before electing to promote Bryant, who then would not be eligible for free agency until after the 2012 season.
