The Los Angeles Dodgers look for a series win at Wrigley Field as they battle the Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon. Aaron Harang gets the start for the Dodgers, looking for his second win of the season.
Travis Wood was recalled from Triple A Iowa to make the start for the Chicago Cubs, in place of Matt Garza, who has the flu. Former Dodger infielder Blake DeWitt was designated for assignment by the Cubs to make room on the roster for Wood. DeWitt was just 4-for-29 this season.
Garza was victim to a flu bug that has ran through the Cubs' clubhouse and as manager Dale Sveum told Carrie Muskat of MLB.com, "Because of flu bug, it cost somebody his job."
Juan Uribe hurt his left wrist before batting practice on Thursday, and Sunday is the fifth straight game he is out of the starting lineup. Uribe did pinch hit on Friday. Here are Sunday's starting lineups:
Dodgers (18-9)
Gordon SS
Ellis 2B
Kemp CF
Ethier RF
Rivera LF
Hairston 3B
Loney 1B

Harang P
Cubs (10-17)
