The Cubs are squaring up against the left-hander, Sean Manaea, tonight at Wrigley Field, which means both Willson Contreras and Yan Gomes are in the lineup, but at opposite positions.
Chicago Cubs Lineup:
- Christopher Morel, CF
- Willson Contreras, C
- Patrick Wisdom, 3B
- Frank Schwindel, 1B
- Yan Gomes, DH
- Ian Happ, LF
- Nico Hoerner, SS
- Jonathan Villar, 2B
- Jason Heyward, RF
SP: Kyle Hendricks
This group has become pretty standard against lefties, though we’ll note that Nick Madrigal is still out with groin tightness, which forces Jonathan Villar back into the lineup. And without a better right-handed option on the bench, Jason Heyward is still your everyday right fielder.
Please come back soon, Seiya Suzuki.
