How To Watch, Stream Chicago Cubs vs. Seattle Mariners Series Preview

The Chicago Cubs continue their swing on the west coast when they start a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners on Friday

The Chicago Cubs hit the second leg of their three-city road trip on Friday when they face the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

 

 

The Cubs (7-5) are coming off a 10-2 loss to the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The off-day on Thursday should give them a little time to rest and recover. But, they also have to deal with another pitching injury as Kyle Hendricks was moved to the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

 

The Cubs already had two starting pitchers on the injured list, though one is on a rehab assignment right now, Jameson Taillon. The other is Justin Steele, who suffered a Grade 1 hamstring injury on Opening Day.

 

Taillon is set to make a second rehab start on Friday at Triple-A Iowa. But it probably rules him out from returning until at least next week. The Cubs, for the moment, have a TBA next to their probable Sunday starter.

 

Three Cubs have been key offensively. Christopher Morel leads the team with three home runs, while Seiya Suzuki and Cody Bellinger each have two home runs. Suzuki leads the Cubs with 12 RBI, while Morel and Bellinger each have 10.

 

Drew Smyly, who has been throwing out of the bullpen, has two of the Cubs’ seven wins and is the only Cubs pitcher with at least two wins.

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, starting lineups, how to watch and listen, injury updates and more.
