Schwarber is starting in left field and batting first in Saturday's game against the Reds.
As has become the norm recently for the Cubs, Schwarber is hitting leadoff against a right-handed starter. The slugging outfielder doesn't have the speed of a prototypical leadoff hitter, but his ability to draw free passes (15.3 percent walk rate) and hit the ball out of the park make him a unique threat atop the order.
