"Matt Shaw is leading off and playing second base today. This will be his seventh game of the spring, and so far he's played right field (3x), second base (1x), and third base (2x). So this will bring him up to two games at second. Good balance."
"Almost all of the bench battlers are in this one, too, with Dylan Carlson playing left, Chas McCormick getting a turn in center, Owen Miller at first, and Scott Kingery (who is getting a ton of run this spring) at DH."
The Cubs and Reds compete in a Cactus League spring training matchup broadcast on Marquee Sports Network. Manager Craig Counsell has adjusted the Cubs lineup due to players absent for the World Baseball Classic. Matt Shaw leads off at second base in his seventh spring game, while bench players including Dylan Carlson, Chas McCormick, Owen Miller, and Scott Kingery receive significant playing time. Kevin Alcantara plays right field but is expected to begin the season in Iowa. The Reds counter with their own lineup featuring TJ Friedl, Elly De La Cruz, and other roster players. Jameson Taillon starts for Chicago against Cincinnati's Brady Singer in a right-handed pitcher matchup.
