EDGE Analysis

Rea will make a spot start after the Cubs had to make some adjustments to their rotation since Tyler Chatwood was scratched from his scheduled start Friday. Rea served mainly as a starter in the minors and in past major-league appearances but came out of the bullpen twice to begin the 2020 season, tossing three scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and striking out three.
