Game time: The Chicago Cubs (16-13) will battle the St. Louis Cardinals (11-12) on Monday (3:05 p.m. CT) at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.
TV information: Marquee Sports Network (Free trial of Marquee Sports Network on FuboTV) and MLB.TV Cubs lineup: Ian Happ LF Seiya Suzuki RF Nico Hoerner 2B Michael Busch 1B Mike Tauchman DH Pitching matchup: The Cub will have lefty youngster Jordan Wicks (2-1, 2.60 ERA) on the mound against lefty Steven Matz (1-1, 9.00 ERA). Pregame notes: One of the final camp decisions the Cubs had to make was on prospect Alexander Canario. He’s being sent down to start the season. Would have made for a good DH IMO.
