Phillies Shake Up Lineup and Roster for Cubs Series

After stacking four left-handed bats the past three days against Arizona, Rob Thomson is shaking up the lineup again for the start of their three-game set against the Chicago Cubs on Monday.

Adolis Garcia Moves to Cleanup Spot vs. Chicago

Thomson hinted that right fielder Adolis Garcia was under strong consideration to move into the cleanup spot, and on Monday, he will hit behind Bryce Harper in the No. 4 spot.

Trea Turner leads off with Kyle Schwarber and Harper in their normal top three spots in the lineup. After that, Garcia hits fourth with Brandon Marsh moving to the No. 5 spot after hitting cleanup over the weekend. Alec Bohm hits sixth with Bryson Stott, JT Realmuto, and Justin Crawford rounding out the lineup on Monday.

• SS Trea Turner
• DH Kyle Schwarber
• 1B Bryce Harper
• RF Adolis Garcia
• LF Brandon Marsh
• 3B Alec Bohm
• 2B Bryson Stott
• C J.T. Realmuto
• CF Justin Crawford

The Phillies will face Javier Assad in game one of the series, with only four regulars having hits against the right-hander.

• Turner 1 for 5, 1 HR
• Harper 3 for 6
• Schwarber 2 for 5
• Stott 2 for 4

The Phillies will counter with ace Cristopher Sánchez, who struggled in his last outing, allowing four runs (two earned) with six strikeouts over five innings in a loss against the Giants on Tuesday.
