We don’t yet know how the Cubs will set up their pitching staff for the 2022 season that begins a week from tomorrow, Thursday, April 7 at Wrigley Field against the Brewers.
That’s not going to stop me from making an educated guess about how things will work for manager David Ross and his coaching staff.

It seems clear that Kyle Hendricks will get the Opening Day start, his third. He’ll be followed by Marcus Stroman. That’s the way those two have been set up from the beginning of spring camp.
Beyond that, it’s a bit less clear.
