The Chicago Cubs start their postseason Friday against the Washington Nationals and now we know which players will take the field.
The team released its 25-man roster Friday morning.
Here's a look at who's on it:
PITCHERS (11)
49-Jake Arrieta, RHP
71 - Wade Davis, RHP
32-Brian Duensing, LHP
Chicago Baseball
6-Carl Edwards Jr., RHP
28-Kyle Hendricks, RHP
41 - John Lackey, RHP
34-Jon Lester, LHP
38-Mike Montgomery, LHP
62 - José Quintana, LHP
46-Pedro Strop, RHP
37-Justin Wilson, LHP
The Cubs opted not to keep relief pitcher Hector Rondon on the roster, as he continues to work his way back from elbow inflammation. It's unclear whether he was left off the roster because of health or because of rust, but he won't be available in the first round.
CATCHERS (2)
13 - Alex Avila
40 - Willson Contreras
The Cubs carried three catchers last postseason, but this time around they'll stick with two as Victor Caratini and Rene Rivera were left off of the NLDS roster.
INFIELDERS (7)
9 - Javier Baez
17 - Kris Bryant
8 - Ian Happ
2 - Tommy La Stella
44 - Anthony Rizzo
27 - Addison Russell
18 - Ben Zobrist
No real surprises in the infield, as six of the seven players will play just about every game, and La Stella will serve as one of the team's most effective pinch hitters and versatile defensive replacements.
OUTFIELDERS (5)
5 - Albert Almora Jr.
22 - Jason Heyward
30 - Jon Jay
24 - Leonys Martin
12 - Kyle Schwarber
The Cubs opted to keep 14 fielders with the shorter Division Series round, and Martin was the beneficiary, as he'll serve primarily as a pinch-runner and as a defensive substitute late in games, most likely for Ian Happ or Kyle Schwarber.
