The rest of the lineup is: LF Alfonso Soriano, SS Ryan Theriot, 1B Derrek Lee, RF Micah Hoffpauir, 3B Aramis Ramirez, 2B Mike Fontenot, CF Reed Johnson, C Paul Bako and P Jeff Samardzija.

- Reliever Randy Wells also was sent home from Cubs camp because of the flu.
- Aaron Miles hopes to get in Tuesday’s game. He’s been sidelined with a bruised right shoulder.
