Cubs' manager Counsell names Wicks and Assad as Opening Day rotation starters, with Smyly moving to the bullpen.
Cubs' manager Craig Counsell has named Jordan Wicks and Javier Assad as starters for the Opening Day rotation. Wicks will make his first Opening Day roster appearance, while Assad, who broke camp with the team last year as a reliever, will be making his first Opening Day rotation nod. This decision means that veteran lefty Drew Smyly will head to the bullpen for the season's start.
