The Cubs are off to face the Giants today, with Johnny Cute standing atop the hill opposite a lineup led by Ian Happ and followed mostly by expected 2020 starters.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that this is the group usually led by Kris Bryant, but he’s not in there today. I’m sure it’s nothing, but it’s worth noting. Other than that, Willson Contreras is DHing, Victor Caratini is behind the plate, and Nico Hoerner remains the second baseman for now.
Meanwhile, Tyler Chatwood is set to take mound for his fourth spring start of the year, still battling to win that fifth spot in the rotation right out of camp. The competition thinned today, with Colin Rea and Adbert Alzolay being sent out of big league camp, but Alec Mills remains a threat. Go Cubs.
