This is the third time this Spring Training that Happ will leadoff for the Cubs. Maddon said on Tuesday that Happ, Albert Almora Jr., and Ben Zobrist are his frontrunners for No. 1 spot in the batting order.

Veteran Jon Lester will take the mound for the North Siders and will probably only pitch one or two innings max. Other Cubs pitchers that are available include Alvarez, Zastryzny, Roth, Mazzoni, Maples, De La Cruz, and Underwood.
