Cubs v Rangers: Cubs Lineup, Game 3 of 162

Game three of the season presents the third different lineup of the season. It looks like while Theo Epstein and the players wanted more urgency, getaway day is still a thing in Joe Maddon’s mind.

The first thing that stands out is Ben Zobrist in LF today, he’s played DH, 2B, and now LF in the first three games. Kris Bryant returns to third, while Victor Caratini sees his first action of the season.

Almora gets another start against right-hander, Lance Lynn. He’s tough against right-handed hitters, but Almora will have to prove he shouldn’t be in the lineup going forward. He was 0-3 last night, but did walk.
