John Lackey pushed back to Padres series … Mike Montgomery to start Saturday against Rockies
The Cubs announced changes to the starting rotation for the upcoming nine-game road trip that begins Friday at Coors Field in Denver against the Rockies.
John Lackey will not be placed on the disabled list. The Cubs pushed Lackey back until the Padres series (Aug. 22-24) to give him a little extra time to rest his right shoulder. Lackey left his last start Sunday with right shoulder stiffness. Lackey will start Tuesday in San Diego.
