Tigers, Cubs lineups: New arrival Jim Adduci starting at 1st base

CHICAGO -- Jim Adduci will start at first base and bat first base for the Detroit Tigers after being called up from Triple-A Toledo.

Adduci, 33, grew up in the Chicago area and spent six years in the Cubs minor-league system. He has never played a game at Wrigley Field.

There is no designated hitter in a National League park, meaning Victor Martinez is out of the lineup and available as a pinch-hitter.

On the mound, Michael Fulmer (3-7, 4.20 ERA) will face the Cubs' Kyle Hendricks (5-8, 4.21).
