Cubs set rotation for opening series against the Pirates
MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs’ starting rotation is set for the team’s opening series against the Pirates. Manager David Ross announced on Thursday that right-hander Jake Arrieta will start Game 2 against Pittsburgh with Zach Davies taking the ball for Game 3.
Kyle Hendricks was named the Cubs’ Opening Day starter on Tuesday. Right-hander Trevor Williams would likely get his first start against the Brewers on April 5.
The starting rotation has been one of the bright spots for the Cubs and after entering spring with several questions, the group has put together a strong camp heading into the regular season.
