Tonight’s game still doesn’t count, but it feels a lot more real when the other team is, well, actually another team. The White Sox are making the trek north to face the Cubs in the first of three total intersquad scrimmages allowed before starting the season. These two teams will run it back Monday on the South Side, after which the Cubs have a game against the Twins before opening the regular season Friday against the Brewers.
Kris Bryant will lead off at third, followed by Jason Kipnis at DH, Javy Báez at short, and Kyle Schwarber in left.
