Ben Zobrist, wearing pink shoes, back in lineup as Cubs look to sweep White Sox

Ben Zobrist returns to the top of the Cubs’ lineup for Sunday’s finale of the City Series against the White Sox at Wrigley Field.

Zobrist is engaged in a dispute with Major League Baseball over whether he can wear his black shoes in games, a violation of the MLB uniform code. Zobrist said Saturday he’ll be wearing pink shoes on Sunday for Mother’s Day.

Javier Baez moves back to the five-hole after spending a day in the leadoff spot, while Ian Happ starts in center field against Sox starter Lucas Giolito.
