Kyle Schwarber starting for Cubs on Thursday night

Chicago Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first game back from the All-Star break.

What It Means:

The runner-up from Tuesday's Home Run Derby will replace Ben Zobrist in left and bat sixth versus Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez. Javier Baez is being held out of the lineup, so Zobrist will move in and cover second base.

numberFire's models project Schwarber to score 10.8 FanDuel points on Thursday.
