Spring Training Game Thread: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Texas Rangers @ Chicago Cubs
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY SportsWe have our first scheduled split squad action for the Texas Rangers today with the youngsters that drew the short straws bussing off to Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona to take on the Chicago Cubs, while the veterans will stick around in Surprise to face the Arizona Diamondbacks at Surprise stadium.
In Mesa, RHP relief hopeful Jonathan Hernandez will make the start after Joe Palumbo was scratched with a injured heel. The Cubs were supposed to start Yu Darvish against the Rangers but that has been updated to RHP James Norwood which doesn’t have quite the same gravitas to it.
