NEW YORK — For the first time in 10 days, the Cubs faced a left-handed starter.
With Sean Manaea on the mound Tuesday for the Mets, the Cubs adjusted what has become their regular lineup since center fielder Cody Bellinger suffered two fractured ribs last week.
First baseman Michael Busch was out of the starting lineup for the first time in a week and a half. Right-handed power hitter Patrick Wisdom took over at first base and batted second.
Outfielder Mike Tauchman had been hitting second since Bellinger’s injury while the Cubs faced all right-handed starting pitchers.
