The Rockies return to Cubs Park to face the .500 Cubs (oh yeah, Rox, how does it feel to be looking up a half-game in the standings?) and Travis Wood, who makes his second Cactus League start.
The game is available by audio on Cubs.com, for those who want to listen in.
Today’s lineup features a smattering of regulars, including Ryan Sweeney back in action (in right field), and Darwin Barney manning shortstop. Junior Lake is back in center field, and Donnie Murphy covers second base (while Luis Valbuena is at third). Nothing too terribly surprising in total, but maybe further confirmation of some things we already believe to be true.
Lineup:
- Junior Lake, CF
- Nate Schierholtz, DH
- Justin Ruggiano, LF
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Welington Castillo, C
- Ryan Sweeney, RF
- Donnie Murphy, 2B
- Luis Valbuena, 3B
- Darwin Barney, SS
