At least for the time being, the Chicago Cubs will look to mix and match to fill the void at shortstop. But, then again, it’s hard to call it much of a void given you’ve got Daniel Murphy, Ben Zobrist, David Bote and Javier Baez available to man the middle infield.
Add Mike Freeman to the mix, as well. The Cubs called called up the infielder yesterday to replace Russell on the active roster. For the rest of the regular season, he gives the Cubs a good defensive middle infielder.
