June 02--One of Joe Maddon's missions this season was to give 35-year-old second baseman Ben Zobrist ample rest, and the Chicago Cubs manager is fulfilling that goal Thursday.
Zobrist is not in the starting lineup as the Cubs try to win the fourth game of their four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Zobrist, who batted .406 in May, is hitless in his past six at-bats. Javier Baez will take over at second base, with Jorge Soler starting in left field.
Here's the Cubs' lineup against Dodgers 19-year-old phenom Julio Urias:
Fowler cf
Heyward rf
Bryant 3b
Rizzo 1b
Soler lf
Russell ss
Baez 2b
Montero c
Hendricks p
