Kris Bryant isn’t starting. Jason Heyward isn’t starting. Victor Caratini and Willson Contreras are both in the lineup and David Bote is at third base.

This lineup can’t be any worse, right?
Contreras has played in the outfield before and hey that arm is still a weapon.
Tonight will be his first MLB start in right field. Contreras has made 13 starts in right field in the minors and has logged 7.2 innings there with the Cubs.
