Cubs move up Jon Lester's next start
The Chicago Cubs have moved Jon Lester's next start to Tuesday, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.
What It Means:
Lester was originally set to start on Wednesday, but he'll get the ball Tuesday so that he can attend his uncle's funeral Wednesday. Jake Arrieta will be Wednesday's starter now.
In 22 starts, Lester is 8-6 with a 4.00 FIP and 2.0 WAR. Our algorithms project him for 6-3 record, 67 strikeouts and 30 earned runs in 73-plus innings the remainder of the year.
