Ben Zobrist Sitting Sunday Night
7 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Ben Zobrist is getting a day off on Sunday against the Giants. Zobrist has played in the past two games and will most likely not draw three straight starts often, especially with everyone healthy. Albert Almora Jr. will be taking his place leading off and playing center field while Jason Heyward shifts over to right field. Aside from the elite defense, Almora Jr. has made great strides in his offensive game this season slashing .316/.370/.436 in 147 plate appearances. Almora Jr. and Zobrist are both good plays whenever they lead off.
