Daniel Descalso will be leading off at second base, followed by Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo at the corners and Javy Baez at short. Kyle Schwarber breaks up the infield monopoly as he looks to produce more than a swinging bunt to third in this one.
Willson Contreras handles the catching duties, Jason Heyward is in right, and Joe Sheehan will have the chance to stan for tonight’s centerfielder as Albert Almora Jr. bats eighth.
Facing them will be 24-year-old Walker Buehler, who visits the scene of his infamous cousin’s hookie exploits for the first time.
