The undefeated Cubs welcome the potentially resurgent Angels to Sloan Park Thursday in a tilt that features a lot of regulars and a few familiar faces among the visitors. While Kyle Hendricks won’t be toeing the rubber in this one, Jorge Soler is the DH and Tim Anderson is at second base as he seeks to revive a career that fell off a cliff on the South Side two years ago.
Craig Counsell has two-thirds of a standard lineup today, with Ian Happ leading off in left and Kyle Tucker getting some action in right field with Seiya Suzuki as the DH.
