Left-hander Jordan Wicks scratched from Cubs' start due to forearm tightness; Hayden Wesneski replaces him.

The Cubs face further injury attrition in their rotation as left-hander Jordan Wicks has been scratched from his scheduled start due to forearm tightness. Right-hander Hayden Wesneski will start in his place. Wicks, the club's first-round pick in the 2021 draft, has pitched well this season, but a potential injury-induced absence would exacerbate Chicago's early-season injury woes.
