The match is going to be played at Sloan Park in which he will serve his team as a designated hitter. Jason Heyward, right fielder of Cubs, will also be in the team lineup in the match as he has already missed past two games due to personal reasons.

Heyward will bat at seventh position and he will play at the right field for the Chicago Cubs team. Chicago Cubs are looking to maintain a purposeful lineup in the league for getting best out of the team players. Cubs have huge support and a group of kids along with their family visited Arizona for watching their players getting training in the spring training camp.

Kyle Hendricks will play on the hill position for the Chicago Cubs in the match against Oakland A’s. Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, and Javier Baez will also be part of the team against the clash of Cubs with A’s at Thursday afternoon.
