Chicago Cubs Lineup (5/1/19): Almora Leadoff, Bryant DH, Zobrist 2B, Lester Pitching

Albert Almora Jr. is batting leadoff and playing center, Kris Bryant continues to protect a tight wheel as the DH, and Anthony Rizzo is at first. Javy Báez is at short, Willson Contreras catches, Kyle Schwarber is in left, David Bote is at third, Jason Heyward is in right, and Ben Zobrist mans second.

The latter move is sort of like a backup plan for Almora, who had largely lost out to Daniel Descalso in his leadoff platoon.
