No, I wouldn’t take it as a sign of anything big. But it’s notable.
Starlin Castro is getting the day off today, and taking his place at shortstop – again, for today – is Addison Russell, who slides over from second base:
- Dexter Fowler, CF
- Anthony Rizzo, 1B
- Kris Bryant, 3B
- Miguel Montero, C
- Junior Lake, RF
- Chris Coghlan, LF
- Jonathan Herrera, 2B
- Jason Hammel, P
- Addison Russell, SS
Hopefully Castro gets a day to rest, Russell plays well at short in his absence, and Jonathan Herrera gets a couple hits.
