Ben Zobrist (neck) late scratch on Monday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs second baseman/left fielder Ben Zobrist has been scratched from Thursday's start with a stiff neck, according to MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.
What It Means:
Zobrist was set to get the start at second base and hit fourth in the Chicago batting order. But, with the change, Tommy La Stella will make the start at second in consecutive games while batting second against Asher Wojciechowski.
numberFire's models project Zobrist for 3 home runs, 6 doubles and 14 RBI in 133 plate appearances the rest of the way.
