Chicago Cubs Lineup: Contreras at 1st in Miami Tonight

Willson Contreras is starting at first base tonight for the Chicago Cubs (47-22). He was originally signed as an infielder in 2009, capable of playing multiple infield positions, before being converted to a catcher.

He’a starting in place of Anthony Rizzo who’s being held out for precautionary reasons with a tight back.
