Nolan Arenado returns to lineup for Game 2 vs. Chicago Cubs

First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. at Wrigley Field.

Nolan Arenado returns to the lineup for the second game of the Cardinals series with the Chicago Cubs. Arenado was a late scratch yesterday as a precaution due to neck stiffness and discomfort. Arenado reported no issues after taking swings in the batting cage ahead of tonight's game, so he will play third base and hit fourth.

The Cardinals are looking to win three consecutive games for the first time this season. Besides Arenado starting, the team will have Paul DeJong start in place of Tommy Edman at shortstop, hitting seventh.
