Chicago Cubs Lineup:.
1. Kris Bryant, 3B2. Anthony Rizzo, 1B3. Javy Baez, SS4. Kyle Schwarber, LF5. Willson Contreras, C6. Jason Heyward, RF7. Ian Happ, CF8. Victor Caratini, DH9. Nico Hoerner, 2B.
After remaining of yesterdays beginning lineup with an aching left elbow, Kris Bryant is back in there at third base and leading off tonight. He hasnt truly clicked in a video game at the plate yet this season, but his defense has actually been strong and if hes feeling much better, possibly hes ready to turn a corner (not that hell have a particularly nice match with Gray on the mound).
Kris Bryant, 3B2. Kyle Schwarber, LF5. In basic, the top of the Cubs order has stayed more or less similar through the first 6 video games of the year, with the many of the changes coming at catcher, second base, DH and the last three areas in the order (although even that has largely simply been Contreras and Caratini change spots and mainly Hoerner at 2B). Fans of a consistent lineup, rejoice.

As usual, well have your full Pre-Gamin post closer to game time (5:40 CT).
The Cubs are riding a three-game winning streak and they just got Kris Bryant back for Kyle Hendricks 2nd start of the year. Heres how David Ross will line them up against Sonny Gray and the Reds in Video game 3 of the series.
In fact, traditionally, none of the Cubs 1-6 tonight has had much success versus Gray.

In any case, Willson Contreras is likewise back in there behind the plate after a regular scheduled night off last night, and Victor Caratini continues to DH. Ian Happ likewise goes up in the lineup, as Nico Hoerner moves down.
