Eric Sogard leads off again as the Cubs face the Reds, but he’s playing left field in this one. The veteran appears to have the inside track on a roster spot and playing the outfield almost ensures he’ll break camp with a team that only has four outfielders right now. Willson Contreras bats second at catcher, Anthony Rizzo is at first, and Kris Bryant cleans up at third base.
Javy Báez bats fifth at short, David Bote is at second, the slugging sensation Jake Marisnick is in center, and Rafael Ortega is in right.
