We’ve covered the 40-man roster of the Chicago Cubs, as they stand as of this moment. Nico Hoerner is going to miss the opener Japan, but we have yet to attain wisdom as to his Stateside Opening Day status. That might or might not leave a temporary spot open, which would allow the Cubs to keep both Gage Workman and Vidal Bruján in play, and kick that roster-spot can down the road a little.
Remember that pitcher starting order is relative — that’s mutable with this group, depending on situations. Either Justin Steele or Shu014dta Imanaga could be the No.
