8/23 LIneup & update
Alfonso Soriano did not start Sunday because of a sore left knee that has been bothering him for a few days. It’ll be the “F Troop” lineup vs. the Dodgers – Fuld, Fukudome, Fox and Fontenot:
SS Theriot
CF Fuld
1B Lee
3B Ramirez
RF Fukudome
LF Fox
2B Fontenot
C Hill
P Dempster
The semi-shakeup of the lineup comes despite Lou Piniella saying before Sunday’s game that the Cubs need the veteran players to step up in the final 41 games.
* X-rays of Reed Johnson’s foot show it is not healing as quickly as hoped, and he most likely will not be available until early September.
