"Matt Shaw is leading off and playing right field today, which could end up being a position at which he gets a little more action than expected early in the season IF Seiya Suzuki hits the IL (still TBD). He was obviously already getting time here, but I will be watching closely to see if that increases."
"After a long string of games starting at catcher this spring, Moises Ballesteros is finally making way for more frequent starts behind the plate by the actual starting catchers, Miguel Amaya and Carson Kelly. Today, it's the former, Amaya, getting the nod and catching Edward Cabrera."
The Chicago Cubs play the Arizona Diamondbacks in a spring training game at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Arizona. Matt Shaw leads off and plays right field, a position he may see increased action in if Seiya Suzuki lands on the injured list. Miguel Amaya catches Edward Cabrera, continuing to build rapport with the pitcher as the starting catcher rotation increases. Moises Ballesteros steps back from frequent starts behind the plate to allow more opportunities for the primary catchers. The Diamondbacks counter with their own lineup featuring Corbin Carroll, Alek Thomas, and Nolan Arenado. The game starts at 3:10 pm CT with audio broadcast available.
