Arrieta returned to form but came away with a no-decision against the Mets on Tuesday (7 IP, 1 ER, 8 K, 1 BB). The White Sox are 22-87 (.253) against him. Morneau is 5-14.
Gonzalez had a no-decision in Seattle his last time out (6 IP, 3 ER, 5 K, 2 BB). He’s 2-3 with a 5.86 at home this season, and has a 2.77 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in four July starts. Overall, the Cubs are 13-64 (.203) against him. Zobrist is 6-29 with a HR.
A trade bringing Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs for top prospect SS Gleyber Torres and perhaps others seems imminent. Reports have the last piece being Chapman agreeing to a 4yr/60m extension.
Chris Sale’s five-game suspension will end in time for him to take the mound at Wrigley on Thursday.
Hendricks (9-6, 2.27) versus Shields (4-12, 4.99) tomorrow at 6:10pmCST.
Go Cubs!
