Kris Bryant is sitting for a second straight game as he gets a mental rest from a recent skid. Albert Almora Jr. is leading off, followed by Jason Heyward and Javy Baez. Anthony Rizzo cleans up, Wilson Contreras hits fifth, and Kyle Schwarber continues to be the everyday left fielder.
Ian Happ will be playing on the dirt in place of Bryant, which has the potential to be interesting. Addison Russell bats eighth and plays short.
Tyler Chatwood was originally scheduled to take the bump in this one, but he has left the team since his wife went into labor.
