Marquis To Get Start Against Buccos
Cubs manager Lou Piniella will start RHP Jason Marquis over LHP Rich Hill against the Pirates on Thursday. The Pirates have hit .311 against lefties this season, and Marquis threw 17 innings of one-run ball against them early last season. He’s struggled in his two starts against them since then, but it’s tough to argue with Lou on this one. (Rotoworld)
Update: Rich Hill will start Thursday’s game against the Pirates after all. The Cubs were going to move Jason Marquis ahead of him in the rotation because of the Pirates’ success against left-handers, but since Marquis is a bit under the weather, he’ll start Friday as originally planned.

Update II: Jason Marquis has been scratched from his scheduled start Friday because of an illness. The original plan was for Marquis to go tonight, but the Cubs had announced earlier that Rich Hill would start. Now they’ll also go to Carlos Zambrano and Ted Lilly on regular rest Friday and Saturday. Marquis could pitch Sunday if he’s feeling better. (Rotoworld)
