Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL

Nick Madrigal - Starting again SundayMadrigal is starting at third base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

ImpactThat's consecutive starts for Madrigal, who faced righty Brandon Woodruff on Saturday and will see lefty Eric Lauer on Sunday. It seemed like Patrick Wisdom, who started on Opening Day, would be the top option against southpaws, but it's Madrigal getting the chance Sunday. Edwin Rios should also factor in against righties moving forward, making the hot corner very fluid in Chicago.

Ian Happ - Hits first home runHapp went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers.

ImpactHapp is off to a good start early in 2023, as he's gone 3-for-6 across two games with the home run. The outfielder hit 17 long balls and tallied a career-best 72 RBI last season, and he should once again be one of Chicago's top offensive performers this year from the middle of the lineup.

Dansby Swanson - Three more hits SaturdaySwanson went 3-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers.

ImpactSwanson has gone 6-for-8 across two games with the Cubs, which is a promising start after the shortstop signed a seven-year, $177 million contract in the offseason. He had a bit of a sluggish spring training, but it looks like he's locked in to begin the regular season and should be a strong fantasy asset once again.

Devin Williams - Availability to be determinedBrewers manager Craig Counsell told reporters Sunday that Williams is sore after being hit in the biceps during Saturday's game against the Cubs and will need to throw before Sunda...

ImpactWilliams was able to pick up a save Saturday against Chicago, but is understandably sore after a single deflected off of his biceps in that contest. The Brewers certainly won't take any risks with the right-hander, so it won't be a surprise if he doesn't get his name called if a save opportunity arises.

William Contreras - Receives Sunday offContreras is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

ImpactContreras started behind the plate in his first two games with Milwaukee and will get a breather after he went 2-for-8 with two RBI and four strikeouts. Victor Caratini will step in at catcher for the series finale in Chicago.

Luis Torrens - Gets start as DHTorrens is the designated hitter and batting eighth for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

ImpactTorrens has shown a propensity for hitting southpaws through his career better than righties, and he could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching if he gets off to a strong start to begin 2023. It's his first time in the starting lineup as a member of the Cubs.

Eric Hosmer - Takes seat SundayHosmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Brewers.

ImpactHosmer manned first base in the first two games of the season but will head to the bench Sunday after he went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts. Trey Mancini will move to first base while Luis Torrens serves as the designated hitter in the series finale.
