Chicago Cubs Lineup: Happ Leads Off, Almora in Right as Lester Starts Rare Night Game

It looks as though most of the Las Vegas contingent from this past weekend’s split squad is getting the night off after what was certainly a harrowing 300-mile flight back to Phoenix. As such, we’re seeing a very similar lineup to the one that faced the Royals Sunday afternoon.

There are, however, some interesting changes.

Ian Happ is leading off in center while Kyle Schwarber follows in left. Willson Contreras handles the catching duties with Addison Russell — who was in LV — playing short. Then you’ve got Albert Almora Jr. in right, which might be something to monitor.
