Jon Lester

Cubs' Jon Lester (back) expected to make his next start

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester (back) is expected to make his next start despite leaving Monday's game with back spasms.

What It Means:

After being pulled early in his start on Monday, Lester received treatment for his back and should be good to go this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds.

Lester allowed three runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings on Monday against the Brewers.
