Ross: Hayden Wesneski contending for fifth spot in Cubs' rotation
According to manager David Ross, Chicago Cubs pitcher Hayden Wesneski will compete for the fifth rotation spot.
While Kyle Hendricks is sidelined with a right shoulder injury, Wesneski is among three options contending for the last spot in Chicago's rotation including Adrian Sampson and Javier Assad. Expect the 25-year old to emerge as a late-round option in yearly fantasy leagues if he can win a starting role.
In four starts last season, Wesneski produced a 3.87 expected Fielding Independent Pitching rating, a 12.7% swinging strike percentage, and a 22.4% K-rate.
