The Cubs host the Royals today, with Jon Lester on the mound, back in Cactus League action after pitching in a minor league game last week. We’ll see if the Royals test him aggressively on the bases and with bunts, and how Lester responds.
A number of regulars are back in the lineup, and Addison Russell bats up in the six hole.
Today’s game is on WGN-9, and you can also listen on 670 The Score. For future reference, you can check which games will be televised here.
