It’s been a busy couple days for the Cubs, what with Matt Szczur being DFA’d and Justin Grimm optioned to Iowa, replaced on the roster by Rob Zastryzny and Felix Pena. There will be more moves to come as we get the inevitable announcement of Brett Anderson to the DL and the likely returns of Grimm and Tommy La Stella.
Those moves really only impact the back end of the 25-man, though so we’ve got a pretty standard starting lineup trying to stave off a sweep at the hands of a Yankees team that is firing on all cylinders.
