Kyle Schwarber (rest) not in Cubs lineup Monday
Kyle Schwarber is not in the Cubs lineup. David Ross will catch and bat seventh against the Pirates. Chris Denorfia will move into the two spot in the order.
What It Means:
With Jon Lester on the mound, David Ross will catch and Schwarber will take a seat. This will be a tough matchup for Ross and Denorfia as they face Francisco Liriano. Against right-handers Liriano is giving up a .261 wOBA, has a 2.83 xFIP, and a 28.8 strikeout percentage. His strikeout rate against righties is 10th among all starters. As a result our algorithm projects Denorfia and Ross to rank in the bottom five at their respective positions in fantasy points tonight.
