Andrew Kittredge Named Game 2 Starter
Andrew Kittredge has been named the Game 2 opener for Game 2 of the Wild Card series against the San Diego Padres. Clearly, the Cubs don't have much faith in their starting rotation right now. Shota Imanaga was expected to start, but now might come in to piggyback off Kittredge. It's worth noting that Kittredge did pitch during Tuesday's victory. He tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout in the 3-1 victory. However, Kittredge only threw 14 pitches, so he should be able to give the Cubs an inning or two for Game 2. It'll be interesting to see how manager Craig Counsell manages his pitching staff without Cade Horton (ribs) for this Wild Card series.
