Fresh off a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago Cubs have been one of the best teams in MLB since the All-Star break.
In what was supposed to be an off day for Chicago, it will now play a make-up game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday afternoon (at Wrigley Field).
Before the single game between the Cubs and Blue Jays, Chicago revealed its lineup for the contest, which features a slight Seiya Suzuki change.

In probably a wise move by manager Craig Counsell, Seiya Suzuki will DH on Thursday, and it will be a chance for him to get off his feet and just focus on batting.
Here’s the full Cubs batting order for 8/6:
Cubs 8/6: “P. Crow-Armstrong CF S. Suzuki DH M. Busch 1B A. Bregman 3B I. Happ LF N. Hoerner 2B M. Conforto RF D. Swanson SS M. Amaya C D. Peterson SP”
David Peterson is getting the start, and Miguel Amaya will form a battery with Peterson.
