The Cubs ruined all the momentum from a hot stretch with a sweep at the hands of the Guardians in Cleveland and now return to Chicago to face another team that has spent big with disappointing results. Even if they were able to hit the reset button on Thursday, Craig Counsell‘s squad isn’t likely to turn things around at this point. That won’t stop him from trying to pull more levers, one of which sees two players swapping spots in the field.
Or rather, swapping between the field and DH. As has been expected for a while, Seiya Suzuki is going to spend more time as the DH now that Cody Bellinger‘s broken finger has healed enough for him to catch and throw.
