WSCR 670-AM

Pitching matchups:

The Cubs' Kyle Hendricks (0-0) vs. Sean Newcomb (0-0) Monday at 6:10 p.m.; Jon Lester (1-0) vs. Julio Teheran (0-1) Wednesday at 6:20 p.m.; Yu Darvish (0-0) vs. TBD Thursday at 6:20 p.m.

At a glance:

The Braves headed to Atlanta for their home opener after playing Sunday night at Philadelphia. Hendricks will be making his first start since a spring-training game on March 21. It will be his first against the Braves since Aug. 31, 2017. The Cubs have tweaked their rotation because of off-days last Friday and again on Tuesday. Lefty Jose Quintana pitched in relief Saturday night, meaning he won't start until Friday in Milwaukee. The Cubs were 3-3 against the Braves last year, 2-1 in Atlanta.
