Ben Zobrist had been moved to the middle of the order, but he’s back in the leadoff spot with Anthony Rizzo out as the result of spraining his ankle Sunday. Nicholas Castellanos follows in right, then it’s newly minted NL Player of the Week Kris Bryant at third, Kyle Schwarber in left, and Willson Contreras behind the plate.

Victor Caratini will handle first base in Rizzo’s stead, then it’s Jason Heyward in center and Nico Hoerner at short to finish the lineup.
