The Cubs will playing the Indians twice today in two different states as they split the squad between Sloan Park and Cashman Field in Las Vegas. The lineups actually look fairly even, with several big names staying back in Mesa.
Ian Happ leads off the early game at Sloan and will be manning center, both of which figure to be regular occurrences once we get to real baseball. More notable is Javy Baez returning to the lineup after missing a week with a tweaked hammy. He’ll be hitting and playing second and should get a chance to log an extra AB or so as he works back.
