KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO CUBS: CHICAGO (AP) - Wrigley Field is decked out for the party of a century.
As for the Chicago Cubs?
It looks like there won't be much to celebrate this season other than their ballpark's 100th anniversary. As Wrigley hits a milestone, the Cubs remain in a rebuilding mode, hoping to avoid their fifth straight losing season.
They have a new manager in Rick Renteria. Their outlook looks about the same, though.
It's all about the future, the prized prospects in the system, no matter how painful that might be to the players in uniform at the major league level. More lumps appear to be in store for the Cubs as they enter their third year with Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations.
''The objective is to win as many games as possible, be the last man standing and bring a championship to the city of Chicago,'' pitcher Edwin Jackson said. ''The motivation is still the same. The message is still the same. We want to go out and win. We don't want to go out and be a pushover.''
NY YANKEES: NEW YORK (AP) - Derek Jeter is saying goodbye. Masahiro Tanaka is saying hello.
Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran are new to the Bronx; David Robertson is new to the closer's role. And Alex Rodriguez is nowhere to be seen.
Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte have retired, and Robinson Cano has moved to Seattle.
After missing the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years, the New York Yankees will look a whole lot different. And for the first time since 1998, they don't have baseball's highest payroll.
''I think it is probably the biggest transition I've been through,'' manager Joe Girardi says.
For only the second time in team history and the first time since 1947, every position on opening day other than the mound will be manned by a different Yankees player on opening day than in New York's previous opener.
New York's forgettable 2013 season began with an 8-2 loss to Boston, with Kevin Youkilis at first, Cano at second, Eduardo Nunez at shortstop, Jayson Nix at third, Francisco Cervelli behind the plate, Vernon Wells in left, Brett Gardner in center and Ichiro Suzuki in right.
The only holdover for Tuesday's opener at Houston figures to be Gardner, who has shifted to left. The rest of the starting lineup figures to have McCann behind the plate, Mark Teixeira at first, Brian Roberts at second, Jeter at shortstop, Kelly Johnson at third, Ellsbury in center and Beltran in right.
CC Sabathia will be the constant on the mound. He's coming off the poorest of his 13 major league seasons at 14-13 with a 4.78 ERA.
''Nobody wants to go through that again,'' he says. ''It sticks with me a lot. Just being disappointed in not being able to help this team win. I feel like if I could have been a little better we might have made the playoffs. I blamed myself for a long time in the offseason and now I'm over it and ready to go this year.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER NL PREVIEW (CHICAGO CUBS-NY YANKEES) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Cubs-Yankees Preview* ======================

Chicago (4-8) at New York (7-6), 7:05 p.m. EDT

Masahiro Tanaka's career with the New York Yankees is off to a good start despite some struggles in the early innings, an issue he hopes to correct Wednesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader against the visiting Chicago Cubs.

This two-game series was supposed to begin Tuesday, but that contest was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as a twinbill.

Tanaka is 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in two starts, and those numbers would be even better if he was able to hold down opponents in the first two innings.

The Yankees (7-6) handed him a two-run lead in Toronto in his major league debut April 4, but he allowed a home run to the first hitter he faced and two more runs in the second inning before settling down to face one batter over the minimum in his final five innings to earn a 7-3 win.

The right-hander took the mound again last Wednesday against Baltimore in his first appearance at Yankee Stadium, allowing a three-run homer in the second but three more singles in his last five innings of a 5-4 loss.

"If you look at the first two starts, the beginning of the game, I'm missing my spots and giving up runs," Tanaka, through an interpreter, told MLB's official website. "I need to make my adjustments, try not to do that. Try to keep the damage to a minimum - or no damage at all - at the beginning of the game."

Tanaka has allowed three runs in each outing, something he did four times in 27 starts for the Rakuten Golden Eagles last season. He's struck out 18 and walked one over 14 innings.

"I pride myself on not giving in after giving up runs," Tanaka said. "From the time when I was in Japan, I would always think that if I gave up a run, I would think to myself that I'm not going to give up any more runs."

He'll now be trying to pitch the banged-up Yankees to a season-best third straight win after they beat Boston 3-2 on Sunday night to take three of four in the series.

Derek Jeter was out of the lineup for the second straight day (quadriceps) and Brian Roberts was also sidelined (back) before backup catcher Francisco Cervelli - playing first base because Mark Teixeira is on the disabled list - left with a hamstring strain that landed him on the 60-day DL.

Starting catcher Brian McCann then suffered an injury to his right index finger, but X-rays were negative. The Yankees have recalled catcher John Ryan Murphy and infielder Scott Sizemore from the minors.

Carlos Beltran moved from right field to make his first career appearance at first base after Cervelli left, going 3 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs. He's 9 for 18 with three home runs, three doubles and five RBIs over the last five games.

Beltran is 2 for 8 against Jason Hammel, who also has pitched well with a new team. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA in his first two starts for the Cubs (4-8), and he has plenty of experience against the Yankees.

Hammel went 3-3 with a 5.17 ERA in 17 appearances - 11 starts - while with Tampa Bay and Baltimore.

"They're a perennial powerhouse and find a way to win, and the organization is committed to their players. That's how they do it," Hammel said. "That being said, there's still a way to beat them. I've faced them many times and had some success."

Chicago hasn't had much success in 2014.

"If we keep pushing, at some point, it's got to turn," first-year manager Rick Renteria said after Chicago lost 6-4 in St. Louis on Sunday to drop the last two in the series.

"I think if we were playing really bad baseball, I'd be concerned. But the reality is, we're showing a lot of fight and we're picking each other up."

Jeter, expected to play Wednesday, is 7 for 22 against Hammel.

Michael Pineda (1-1, 1.50) will look to post a third strong outing in as many starts this season as he takes the ball in the nightcap. The right-hander pitched six-plus innings of one-run ball to beat Boston 4-1 on Thursday, striking out seven.

Pineda was also the subject of some controversy in that game, as TV cameras showed a substance on his pitching hand. The substance had been wiped clean by the fifth, and Pineda said afterward it was dirt. The Red Sox did not complain and Pineda was not disciplined by Major League Baseball.

He has never faced the Cubs.

He'll be opposed by Travis Wood (0-1, 2.92), who's also coming off a strong start, allowing one run in six-plus innings with nine strikeouts and three walks in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday. The left-hander didn't get a decision as Chicago's bullpen gave up four runs in the seventh.
