Chicago Cubs Lineup (8/16/20): Lester on the Bump, Bryant at Third, Hoerner at Short as Cubs Seek Split with Brewers

The Chicago Cubs come into today’s matchup having narrowly lost the last two games against the Milwaukee Brewers. And yes, those are both games you wish they could’ve found a way to win. With a win today, however, they can avoid losing their first series of the year.

Kris Bryant, who’s due for a breakout game, is atop the starting lineup playing third for the second consecutive day after tweaking his left ring finger. Anthony Rizzo is playing first and batting second, followed by Willson Contreras catching, Kyle Schwarber playing DH, and Steven Souza Jr.
