Chicago Cubs Lineup: Brian Matusz Pitching, Coghlan in Left
Brian Matusz will get his first start for the Chicago Cubs (62-41) tonight on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. In case you missed it, Matusz was called up yesterday to make a spot start for the Cubs, effectively pushing all the starters back one day.
Ben Zobrist is in today at second base, while Javier Baez gets a rest after six straight starts at second.
Willson Contreras is starting at catcher today and Chris Coghlan is starting in left field.
