Kyle Schwarber, Jason Heyward Are Sitting Out
5 years agoChicago Cubs outfielders Kyle Schwarber (rest) and Jason Heyward (rest) are out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both sluggers will get a day off along with most of the regular starters. The Cubs are eliminated from the playoffs, so manager Joe Maddon decided to give most of the regulars a day off. Tony Kemp will bat leadoff and cover left field. Ian Happ will play right field and bat second versus righty Joe Musgrove. Happ has some interesting appeal for DFS contests while in a favorable spot on Thursday.
