He’s in; then he’s out. For the Chicago Cubs‘ Mike Montgomery, it’s all in a day’s work. Monty is back into the Cubs rotation as Jon Lester was slid back to Wednesday. Jen-Ho Tseng struggled in his outing, so Joe Maddon moved Montgomery back into it. The move of Lester to Wednesday will also help the Cubs set up a rotation of right-handers against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs will play the Rays for two games before heading over to Milwaukee for an important four-game series.
The Cubs need to consider that they’ll need to replace Jake Arrieta and John Lackey.
