Jon Lester (hamstring) returning for Cubs Thursday
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester (hamstring) will return to the rotation on Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Lester hasn't pitched since April 8 due to a left hamstring strain. He will toe the rubber in Thursday afternoon's series finale with the Dodgers. The 35-year-old left-hander owns a 2.57 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 14 punchouts and 6 walks over 14 innings this season.
numberFire's models expect Lester to spin a 4.31 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 120 stikeouts and 50 walks over the rest of the season.
