Rizzo hits leadoff HR, Cubs beat Padres 4-0 CHICAGO (AP) Anthony Rizzo said all his talking is making him an annoying teammate. The new leadoff hitter is making up for it with his bat, lifting the ChicagoCubs with another first-inning homer Monday night in a 4-0 victory over the San Diego Padres. ''I'm sure my teammates are starting to get a little tired of it because I'm constantly in their ears,'' Rizzo said. ''Non-stop, telling them, `Make sure you don't miss it.''' He hasn't been missing anything at the top of Joe Maddon's batting order. ''It's like on nightly basis, he's ready to go,'' Maddon said. ''He ready, he's chirpy, he's loving this and it's helping us out incredibly.'' Rizzo's home run on the second pitch from Jhoulys Chacin (6-6) was the third leading off in seven games since Rizzo was moved to first in the order.

Beat reporter Mark Sheldon answers questions from fans By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | June 22nd, 2017 + 43 COMMENTS What can the Reds expect from Homer Bailey? -- Charlie on Facebook live It's a good question. Bailey will be activated from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday to make his season debut vs. the Nationals. He's a bit of an X-factor, because it's hard to place high expectations on someone who has had three elbow surgeries and only eight starts since August 2014. The last surgery was Feb. 18 to remove bone chips. But based on his rehab assignment numbers, they should expect some length and dependability. The rotation has averaged 4.93 innings per start this season. If Bailey can just go six or seven innings and keep the team in the game, the lineup should be able to do its part. What is Zack Cozart's prognosis on the DL with a right quad strain? -- Molly on Facebook live Cozart, who went on the DL on Monday, was expecting to begin baseball activity on Friday in Washington after a few days of rest. He was optimistic that he could be ready for activation on the first day he is eligible, which is Wednesday.
