KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO CUBS: 2016: 103-58, won World Series
Manager: Joe Maddon (third season)
Who's new? OF Jon Jay, RHP Wade Davis, LHP Brett Anderson, RHP Koji Uehara, LHP Brian Duensing, RHP Eddie Butler
Who's gone? OF Dexter Fowler, IF/OF Jorge Soler, LHP Aroldis Chapman, LHP Travis Wood, RHP Trevor Cahill, RHP Jason Hammel
Projected lineup: LF Kyle Schwarber (.000, 0 HR, 0 RBI in two games), 3B Kris Bryant (.292, 39, 102), 1B Anthony Rizzo (.292, 32, 109), 2B Ben Zobrist (.272, 18, 76), SS Addison Russell (.238, 21, 95), RF Jason Heyward (.230, 7, 49, 11 SB), C Willson Contreras (.282, 12, 35), CF Jon Jay (.291, 2, 26 with Padres) or Albert Almora (.277, 3, 14 in 47 games)
Rotation: LH Jon Lester (19-5, 2.44 ERA), RH Jake Arrieta (18-8, 3.10), RH Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13), RH John Lackey (11-8, 3.35), LH Brett Anderson (1-2, 11.91 in four games with Dodgers) or LH Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.52 with Mariners and Cubs) or RH Eddie Butler (2-5, 7.17 with Rockies) or LH Rob Zastryzny (1-0, 1.13 ERA in eight games) or RH Alec Mills (0-0, 13.50 in three games with Royals)
Key relievers: RH Wade Davis (2-1, 1.87, 27/30 SV with Royals), RH Pedro Strop (2-2, 2.85), RH Hector Rondon (2-3, 3.53, 18/23 SV), RH Koji Uehara (2-3, 3.45, 7/9 SV with Red Sox), RH Carl Edwards Jr. (0-1, 3.75), RH Justin Grimm (2-1, 4.10), LH Brian Duensing (1-0, 4.05 with Royals)
Hot spots: Fifth Starter. Of all the candidates vying to replace Hammel, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent, most have plenty of upside but didn't log many innings last year. That includes Anderson, who had one productive season and one unproductive season for the Dodgers. Keep an eye on southpaw Montgomery, who tossed two shutouts as a starter for the Mariners in 2015, came to the Cubs last year in a midseason trade, then was effective as a reliever. Last time he was on the mound, he recorded the save in Game 7 of the World Series.
Outlook: There hasn't been a back-to-back champion this century. For opponents of the Cubs, that might be the most tangible nugget of hope. Most of the key players return from a powerhouse team that played historically good defense, got no fewer than 165 innings from each of its top five starters, and featured a deep lineup led by NL MVP Kris Bryant. In the bullpen, two-time All-Star Davis is capable of replacing closer Chapman if he's healthy. Among the Cubs' regular position players, only Zobrist and new center fielder Jay are over 30 ' everyone else is either entering or in the midst of his prime. This is a strong outlook.
CHI WHITE SOX: 2016: 78-84, fourth place.
Manager: Rick Renteria (first season). He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos. He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00). Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs.
PREVIEW
Contreras thriving as Cubs resume series at White Sox
 

CHICAGO -- Unless the Chicago Cubs acquire some additional catching help, Willson Contreras is destined to carry a demanding workload through the season's final 10 weeks.

The Cubs may want to keep him busy if he keeps gaining confidence behind the plate and producing on offense.

Contreras was 3-for-5 with a career-high-tying four RBIs, including a three-run homer -- his 16th -- in the Cubs' 7-2 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

He likely will be back behind the plate on Wednesday as the city series shifts to Guaranteed Rate Field for the first of two night games.

The second-year Cubs catcher is thriving, especially since the team released main backup Miguel Montero in late June, making Contreras the unquestioned No. 1 backstop.

Contreras, who turned 25 in May, already has a World Series ring earned in a partial 2016 season when he arrived as Montero's backup and hit .282 with 12 homers and 35 RBIs in 76 games. This year, he has started as catcher in 68 games and has appeared in 89 of Chicago's 99 games to date.

He is batting .273 and also has 18 doubles and 56 RBIs, good for second on the Cubs.

"Willy has been through it," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said this week. "Willy has caught in the World Series. He had no issues there whatsoever. But he's still learning. Don't get me wrong ... he's very emotional. He's going to get upset once in a while, but he's really good at discarding it quickly, too. Eventually, he's going to mellow out a little bit, but hopefully not too much."

For now, the Cubs have rookie Victor Caratini as backup catcher. He has appeared in nine games and started once since joining the Cubs on June 28 from Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs send right-hander Jake Arrieta (9-7, 4.11 ERA) against White Sox right-hander James Shields (2-2, 5.79 ERA) on Wednesday in the third game of the annual city series.

Arrieta will make his eighth career start against the White Sox with all but one coming on the road. He owns a 5.01 ERA on the White Sox's home field but had a nine-inning two-hitter at Wrigley Field on July 12, 2015.

Shields makes his 10th start of the season on Wednesday. He is 1-2 with an 8.10 ERA in six starts since returning from the disabled list in mid-June.

At age 35, he is serving as something of a mentor for an increasingly young White Sox team that is rebuilding after trading starters for prospects.

"There are some promising young players," Shields said earlier this week. "Stacked in pitching. And their position players are starting to get stacked up a little bit in the minor leagues, so the excitement has to be at an all-time high.

"The fans should be excited. You obviously want to win now, but do you want to win for one year or 10?"

Shields posted a no-decision in his last start on Friday at Kansas City, allowing six runs on 10 hits over 4 1/3 innings.

He is 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four career starts against the Cubs. Shields won his last start vs. the Cubs on July 26, 2016, allowing four hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings.
