The second half of today’s split squad festivities kicks off tonight – they’d never do it, but guys who played earlier today totally would have had time to grab a ride to Peoria – as the Cubs take on the Padres.
There’s no TV for tonight’s game, which is a bummer, because C.J. Edwards is getting “have some fun, kid” start, and Javy Baez is starting at shortstop. You can listen on Cubs.com, though.
Lotta regulars in action tonight, getting their bodies ready for travel and late games, no doubt.
UPDATE: Kris Bryant subs in for Ryan Roberts at the last minute, apparently. Wonder if Roberts is banged up or something.
Lineup:
- Emilio Bonifacio, 2B
- Ryan Kalish, RF
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Ryan Sweeney, CF
- Javier Baez, SS
- John Baker, C
- Kris Bryant, 3B
- Chris Coghlan, LF
- C.J. Edwards, P
