Fans of the Chicago Cubs (24-48) will have to wait another 24 hours before watching 1B Anthony Rizzo's 2012 debut and Cubs debut. The highly-touted prospect left his Triple-A game on Monday afternoon, but the team will wait until Tuesday before officially adding him to the 25-man roster.
Here's a look at today's lineup courtesy of the official Chicago Cubs twitter account:
