Cubs' Ben Zobrist: Returns to action Sunday
Zobrist (ankle) is back in the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
Analysis:
Zobrist was pulled out of Friday's contest after being hit by a pitch, and the ailment ended up holding him out of action Saturday as well. Fortunately, X-rays revealed that it was just an ankle bruise, so the veteran utility man will return to the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Zobrist will get the starting nod at second base, and bat leadoff in the order for the seventh time this season.
