GAME LOG
Matt Shaw - Back in lineup Sunday Shaw is starting at third base and batting seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact After getting a day off Saturday, Shaw will return for the series finale Sunday afternoon. The rookie has settled in as Chicago's primary third baseman and has shown some promise, though he's slumping a bit this month with a .172/.200/.276 slash line in 17 June games.

Dansby Swanson - Getting first day off of season Swanson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact After starting Chicago's first 76 games, Swanson will get his first day off of the season Sunday, with Nico Hoerner getting the nod at shortstop in his stead. Swanson played in at least 147 games in both of his first two years with the Cubs, and he played in all 162 games during his last season in Atlanta back in 2022. Swanson should return to the lineup Monday in St. Louis.

Dansby Swanson - Getting rare day off Sunday Swanson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact After starting Chicago's first 76 games, Swanson will get his first breather of the year Sunday, with Nico Hoerner sliding over to shortstop from second base. Swanson played in at least 147 games in each of his first two years with the Cubs, and he played in all 162 games during his last season in Atlanta back in 2022, so rest days don't come often for him. Swanson figures to reenter the lineup Monday in St. Louis.

Nico Hoerner - Filling in at shortstop Hoerner will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact The Cubs will rest Dansby Swanson for the first time all season, so Hoerner will shift over from his usual post at second base to cover shortstop. Hoerner doesn't have any home runs this season, though he's provided fantasy value with a .284 batting average, 41 runs, 31 RBI and 14 stolen bases through 72 games.

Nico Hoerner - Starting at shortstop Sunday Hoerner is starting at shortstop and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact The Cubs are giving Dansby Swanson a game off for the first time all year, which pushes Hoerner over to shortstop, while Vidal Brujan covers second base in his place.

Vidal Bruján - Starting again Sunday Brujan will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Brujan isn't seeing regular playing time off the bench for the Cubs, though he'll get his second straight start Sunday. After replacing a resting Matt Shaw at third base in Saturday's 10-7 win and going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, Brujan will get a start out of the middle infield Sunday while Dansby Swanson receives a breather. Brujan isn't providing much offense with a .179 batting average and .457 OPS across 29 plate appearances this season.

Vidal Bruján - Starting again Sunday Brujan is starting at second base and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Brujan isn't seeing a ton of playing time off the bench for the Cubs, though this will be his second straight start. The utility player started Saturday's contest at third base and will slide over to the keystone Sunday. Brujan isn't providing much offense with a .179 batting average and .457 OPS across 28 at-bats this season, and he can largely be avoided in most fantasy formats due to his middling production and role.
JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Reese McGuire - Filling in for resting Carson Kelly McGuire will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact McGuire will crack the lineup for the second time in Chicago's last five contests while Carson Kelly gets a breather for the series finale. Since getting called up from Triple-A Iowa on May 25, McGuire has slugged three home runs and owns an .840 OPS over 11 games. Despite his success, McGuire is expected to head back to Triple-A once Miguel Amaya (oblique) is able to return from the injured list.

JUNE 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Carson Kelly - Getting Sunday off Kelly is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Kelly will take a seat after starting three of Chicago's last four contests. In his stead, Reese McGuire will start behind the plate and bat eighth. After a hot start to the season, Kelly is slumping this month, slashing just .171/.209/.220 in 11 June games.
