Cubs' Albert Almora: Returns to lineup Sunday

Almora (neck) is batting fourth and playing center field during Sunday's Cactus League game against the Reds.

Analysis:

Almora exited Friday's contest with neck tightness after making a sliding play in the outfield. It appears the injury was nothing serious as he's ready to suit up Sunday. He'll provide valuable outfield depth for the Cubs this season and may even push for more or even all of Jon Jay's playing time in center field if he can start maturing at a faster rate.
