"Seiya Suzuki is back with the Cubs, which means he's back out in right field. Craig Counsell has already mentioned that he will not be playing every day as the Cubs ease him back into the action."
"Ian Happ is back in the Cubs lineup after missing a couple of games after taking a hard dive for a ball in Tampa."
"Nico Hoerner is the new Cubs leadoff man. He is the second most valuable player in baseball as of this morning, leading off for the Chicago Cubs."
"In the past, Hoerner didn't quite make as much sense as the everyday leadoff hitter, in part because while he had a high average, his OBP and slugging weren't keeping pace."
The Chicago Cubs are looking to surpass a .500 record this season with a promising lineup at Wrigley Field. Seiya Suzuki returns to right field, while Ian Happ is back after an injury. Nico Hoerner has officially taken over as the leadoff hitter, a significant change given his recent performance. The Cubs face a right-handed pitcher, Carmen Mlodzinski, and the lineup includes key players like Michael Busch and Alex Bregman. The team is optimistic about their chances in this matchup.
