The Chicago Cubs are getting ready for a shortened 2020 season, and they now know what the potential road to October looks like.
On Monday, Major League Baseball announced the 60-game schedule for each of its 30 teams, and the Cubs will open the campaign against the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.
After that three-game series, the Cubs will take on the Cincinnati Reds in a four-game road set, and then will return to Chicago to take on the Pirates and Royals in a five-game homestand.
The Cubs will take on the White Sox Aug. 21-23 at Wrigley Field, then will play their rivals again at Guaranteed Rate Field to wrap up the shortened slate.
