Arizona Diamondbacks alter their rotation for first series against the Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs will begin their season on March 27 when they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for their second Opening Day in one month.
The Cubs will face perennial Cy Young candidate Zac Gallen, who got the nod from manager Torey Lovullo that he would be their guy to start on Opening Day.
It appears that the Diamondbacks have had a change of plans and altered their rotation before the start of the series, which benefits the Cubs.
The Chicago Cubs catch a break
The Cubs look to be catching a break for the fourth game of their season, with the Diamondbacks deciding to move right-handed pitcher and Cy Young winner (2021) Corbin Burnes’s first start for when the Diamondbacks play the New York Yankees in New York.
Per Baseball Insider Bob Nightengale:
“The Chicago Cubs catch a nice break with Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes now making his Arizona Diamondbacks debut against the Yankees on the road and not in their 4-game home-opening series against the Cubs.”

Only facing one Cy Young candidate

Thankfully, the Cubs will only face one Cy Young candidate instead of two.
Burnes was the Diamondback’s biggest signing this offseason, signing him to a six-year $210 million deal with an opt-out for 2027.
This was well deserved after Burnes went 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA in 194.1 innings with the Baltimore Orioles. Burnes, for his efforts on the mound, was named an All-Star and finished fifth in the American Cy Young voting.
The Cubs will send Justin Steele and Jameson Taillon to start games one & two while saving their Ace Shota Imanaga for game three.
This move by the Cubs is so Iamanaga can start the Cub’s home opener on April 4.
The Cubs will look to have more success against the Diamondbacks than they did against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
