Chicago Cubs Lineup: Rizzo Leads Off, Zobrist Cleans Up, Hendricks on Mound to Open Second Half

The All-Stars are getting the day off in this one, so the lineup is a little different than you might expect for the first game back from a break. But since ESPN saw fit to have the Cubs and Cards go back a little early, Joe Maddon wanted to make sure Javy Baez and Willson Contreras had that extra rest.

Anthony Rizzo has been getting his mojo back as a leadoff hitter, so he’s back in there tonight. Kris Bryant bats second, followed by Jason Heyward and Ben Zobrist. Raise your hand if you had J-Hey and Zo in the heart of the order at the beginning of the season.
