The Cubs head to Peoria – the Arizona one, not the Illinois one – to play the Padres today, with Jon Lester making his third Spring start. Today’s game is available LIVE on MLB Network, so, if you’re around, flip on the tube and watch.
If you don’t have MLB Network, then you can alternatively watch live on MLB.tv.
Arismendy Alcantara gets the start at third base today, which will be interesting to see. And Kris Bryant is back in action, although not playing defensively – he’s DH’ing.
Welington Castillo gets another start, which is unsurprising, given the Cubs’ situation – he’s seeing as much action as either of the other catchers.
Today’s lineup:
- Arismendy Alcantara, 3B
- Chris Coghlan, LF
- Starlin Castro, SS
- Jorge Soler, RF
- Kris Bryant, DH
- Ryan Sweeney, CF
- Welington Castillo, C
- Mike Olt, 1B
- Chris Valaika, 2B
