Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago Cubs - News - May 20, 2022 | FOX Sports

Willson Contreras - Managing right hamstring tightness Contreras was removed from Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks due to right hamstring tightness, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Impact Contreras started Saturday's game as the designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base. While he singled and swiped a bag in the bottom of the third inning, he apparently tweaked something since Rafael Ortega took over as a pinch runner. The severity of the 30-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but Yan Gomes should see increased work behind the dish if Contreras misses additional time.

Josh Rojas - Exits with left hand injury Rojas was removed from Saturday's game against the Cubs after being hit by a pitch on his left hand in the top of the first inning, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Rojas swung when he was hit by a pitch, so he struck out during his lone plate appearance Saturday and was replaced defensively in the bottom of the first. The severity of the 27-year-old's injury isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. If Rojas misses additional time, Yonny Hernandez should see increased work at the hot corner.

Patrick Wisdom - Starting in left Saturday Wisdom is starting in left field and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Wisdom has primarily played at third base this season, though this will be his third start of the year in left field. The Cubs are likely wanting to capitalize on the matchup against lefty starter Madison Bumgarner, as Wisdom owns an .875 OPS against southpaws this season, versus only a .618 mark against righties. He is 0-for-3 in his career against Bumgarner with two strikeouts, however.

Willson Contreras - Leading off Saturday Contreras is serving as the DH and batting first in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact After catching and batting second Friday, Contreras gets a break behind the plate Saturday, though the Cubs will keep his bat in the lineup. He's 2-for-7 in his career against Arizona starter Madison Bumgarner and has pounded lefties so far this season to the tune of a .618 slugging percentage, so it could be an advantageous matchup. Contreras has also been solid this month with a .913 OPS.

Christopher Morel - Starting again Saturday Morel is starting in center field and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Morel homered Saturday, so the Cubs will reward him with his fourth straight start. The 22-year-old is off to a hot start in his MLB career with two home runs and a 1.371 OPS through 11 at-bats. Those numbers are unsustainable, but fantasy managers may want to give Morel a look in the short term while he's this locked in at the plate.

Yan Gomes - Enters lineup Saturday Gomes is starting at catcher and batting fourth in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Meanwhile, Willson Contreras will serve as the DH as the Cubs load up on right-handed hitters against lefty Madison Bumgarner. Gomes is 0-for-2 in his career against Bumgarner, though he does own a career .818 OPS against southpaws, while his mark against righties dips to .677.

Seiya Suzuki - Back in lineup Saturday Suzuki is starting in right field and batting third in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact After a day off Friday, Suzuki slots back into the heart of Chicago's order. The outfielder has been mostly solid so far in his MLB debut with an .803 OPS across 35 games, though he has just a .611 OPS in May along with a nearly 36 percent strikeout rate this month.
