The Texas Rangers are set to face off against the Chicago Cubs once again on April 8, 2025, with Patrick Corbin taking the mound for the Rangers and Jameson Taillon starting for the Cubs. The matchup unfolds in chilly conditions, as temperatures in Chicago remain in the 30s for a second consecutive day.
In today’s lineup, the Rangers welcome back Josh Jung, who returns to his spot at third base after some time away. Meanwhile, Jake Burger gets a breather and will sit this one out. A small side note—there seems to be an ongoing struggle not to accidentally spell Jameson Taillon’s last name as “Taillion.”
Here’s how the Rangers will line up at Wrigley Field: Marcus Semien leads off at second base, followed by Corey Seager at shortstop. Wyatt Langford holds down left field, while Joc Pederson fills the designated hitter role. Adolis García is in right field, Josh H. Smith plays first base, Josh Jung returns at third, Jonah Heim is behind the plate, and Leody Taveras rounds out the order in center field.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Central Time, with the Rangers entering the contest as +135 underdogs.
