The Cubs laid out their starting rotation plans for this coming week following the postponement of their series in St. Louis due to several more Cardinals testing positive for COVID-19.
After Monday’s off day, Jon Lester and Kyle Hendricks will take the bump in Cleveland on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Cubs return to Chicago for a four-game set against the Brewers starting Thursday, and Yu Darvish, Tyler Chatwood and Alec Mills will start the first three games.
“It lined up for giving each guy the least amount of days off as we possibly could,” Cubs manager David Ross said Sunday.
