Kris Bryant’s day with the Iowa Cubs ended after just three innings today, and likely marks the end of his time at AAA.
Kris Bryant leaves Thursday's Iowa #Cubs game in the 3rd inning. That is expected to be the end of his rehab stint in Des Moines. https://t.co/TXT5ZeuNel

As we discussed earlier today, it seemed pretty likely that today would be Bryant’s final game with the Iowa Cubs before returning to the big league team, perhaps traveling today/tomorrow before being activated on Saturday, September 1 with the Cubs in Philadelphia.
We’ll update folks as soon as something more official comes down the pipeline, but I’d say you should look at Saturday as your tentative expectation for a long-awaited Kris Bryant return.
