Addison Russell - SS - Cubs Addison Russell (shoulder) could be held out of the Cubs' lineup again Friday. Russell was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to right shoulder soreness which he said had gradually gotten worse over the past week. It's an issue that he dealt with at times last season, as well. "With the type of soreness I have in my shoulder, I think throwing is putting gas on the fire," Russell said Wednesday. "But I got work done, I didn't throw (Wednesday), and it feels better right now than it did when I woke up. That's a good thing." Javier Baez will fill in at shortstop if Russell is unable to go for Friday's series opener in St. Louis.
