Matt Duffy, Austin Romine, Andrew Romine, and Michael Hermosillo all come out of the afternoon lineup. In their place, Patrick Wisdom is sliding in at third base, opening up left field for Ian Happ. Sergio Alcantara is covering shortstop. The Cubs other catcher, Robinson Chirinos completes the battery behind the plate, and Jason Heyward is back out in right.
