CHICAGO (AP) -- Addison Russell is learning how to play second base in the major leagues with the Chicago Cubs.
It is a challenging transition for a rookie, but infield coach Gary Jones says he is doing ''a very nice job.''
Before Russell was promoted to the Cubs in April, the sum total of his professional experience at second was five starts at Triple-A Iowa. He was a high school shortstop when Oakland selected him with the No. 11 pick in the 2012 draft, and he played the same position in the minors while developing into one of baseball's top prospects.
