Analysis:

Arrieta was originally expected to make two starts next week, but he'll be pushed back a day, and Kyle Hendricks will instead be the Cubs' two-start pitcher. Heading into the 2015 season, Arrieta will be one of the more interesting starting pitchers to evaluate, as he pitched like a true ace for the first time during his 2014 campaign.
