"Seyia Suzuki (WBC) isn't currently with the team, but if he were, he'd probably be in this lineup that is otherwise full of regulars/starters ... and, well, Michael Conforto."
"If Austin is going to miss significant time, you could see the four-man bench look something like this: (1) Miguel Amaya, (2) Matt Shaw, (3) Dylan Carlson, and (4) Michael Conforto. Amaya is obviously the primary backup catcher and occasional starter at first base."
"Carlson, a switch-hitter, has been far better against lefties in his career and can cover center field. Conforto, a lefty, has been far better against righties in his career and can play either corner spot."
The Cubs play the White Sox in spring training at Sloan Park, broadcast on Marquee Sports Network. Shota Imanaga starts for Chicago against Anthony Kay. The Cubs lineup features key players including Nico Hoerner, Alex Bregman, Ian Happ, Michael Busch, Dansby Swanson, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Carson Kelly, Michael Conforto, and Moises Ballesteros. Seiya Suzuki is absent due to WBC commitments. The bench composition remains uncertain, with potential spots for Miguel Amaya, Matt Shaw, Dylan Carlson, and Michael Conforto, depending on Tyler Austin's injury status and roster decisions.
