Anthony Rizzo leads off, Ben Zobrist bats and plays second, Jason Heyward is in right, and Javy Baez cleans up at third base. Kyle Schwarber moves up to fifth in the order, Ian Happ is in center, Willson Contreras is catching, and Addison Russell is at short.
Folks are surely lamenting David Bote’s Absence, but he managed to impact yesterday’s game despite not starting.
Kyle Hendricks has not displayed the same consistency we’ve come to expect from him, but he’ll likely turn out a better effort than the last time he pitched against the Padres.
