The #Cubs have 14 stints for pitchers on the injured list this season. That is tied with the Tigers for the 2nd-most in MLB, trailing the Dodgers by 1.
In 1971, #Cubs hosted
2 games vs Cardinals
3 games vs Mets
2 games vs Expos
3 games vs Phillies
1st road game vs NL East team took place on May 3 vs Mets at Shea Stadium.
Cubs have hosted all 10 of their games vs NL Central opponents. Since 1969, only 1 other season in which #Cubs hosted each of first 10 division games: 1971. #Cubs were obviously in the NL East that season.
“It’s nice having a little change of scenery, because it gives me a nice full-blown reset. I can get my feet back under me, I can get out of my head a little bit more, understand what makes me good and what’s got me to this point, and run with that.”

@SlangsOnSports Looks like the #Mets last started 3 rookie outfielders in same game: Oct. 7, 2001 - LF Timo Perez, CF Tsuyoshi Shinjo and RF Alex Escobar.
