CLEVELAND -- Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward again finds himself on the bench for a World Series game as manager Joe Maddon has elected to start Jorge Soler in right field in Game 2 against the Indians on Wednesday night.Indians manager Terry Francona more than tweaked his lineup for Game 2. Switch-hitting designated hitter Carlos Santana, who batted fifth in the opener, will lead off against Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta. Also, Tyler Naquin will replace Rajai Davis in center field and Coco Crisp will play in left instead of Brandon Guyer.Heyward sat in Game 1 on Tuesday as lefty Chris Coghlan played against righty Corey Kluber. This time Maddon is sitting Heyward in favor of the right-handed Soler who is 0-for-8 this postseason with two walks and three strikeouts. Heyward is hitting .071 in 28 at-bats and has been benched numerous times throughout the playoffs.The Cubs like the matchup enough to start Soler as Bauer is tougher on lefties than righties, although Soler is not a good cold weather hitter. Hes hitting .169 with a .552 OPS when the temperature is less than 50 degrees, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Hes a .266 hitter with a .782 OPS when its 50 degrees or over. The temperature is expected to be about 47 degrees at game time.Just give it a shot. Out of that particular position were just looking for some production, Maddon said, adding: If you have the opportunity to make a choice Id rather choose the righty over the lefty.Francona likes Santana at the top of the order because of his patience at the plate. He walked 99 times during the regular season. Santana also hit 34 home runs and has set the tone with several homers to open games.Maddon has also elected to start righty Willson Contreras behind the plate with Arrieta on the mound. Contreras is 9 for 22 (.409) in the postseason and provides a stronger arm to negate the Indians running game.Cleveland led the American League in stolen bases. Lefty hitter Miguel Montero had been Arrietas quasi personal catcher for the latter portion of the season but wont start Game 2.Kyle Schwarber is the designated hitter for the second straight night.According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Cubs Game 2 lineup is the first in postseason history with six players who are 24 years old or younger: Kris Bryant, Soler, Contreras, Schwarber, Javier Baez, Addison Russell.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Dillon Maples Cubs Jersey . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.Luke Beveridge is no fan of the bye to come after round 23, fearing it could halt any momentum his side carries into the AFL finals series.In a break from tradition, the top eight will spend the first week of September preparing for finals rather than playing them in 2016.The new fixture tweak comes a year after North Melbourne and Fremantle mass-rested players in preparation for their finals.Both sides were assured of their finishing position heading into the last round, taking the edge off the contests.The AFL believes giving the entire top eight will end the practice, but the Western Bulldogs coach feels its reactionary.I dont think the bye is necessary, he said.I think its another impulsive knee-jerk reaction to something that may not happen every year.The Bulldogs are one of the teams most likely to benefit from the move in 2016, given they have been handed a final-round visit to Perth to play Fremantle.Top-four clubs that win their qualifying final have two weekends off in three weeks under the nnew system.ddddddddddddI know theres been some opinions around the teams that may finish top four, Beveridge said.For that drop off in flow in the season, Id rather have the season flow into the finals.Both last year and again this week, Beveridge said he was sceptical of the mass-rest approach but he respected clubs that took the gamble with their form.You take a risk with that. It might not always work out the way it did for the Roos last year, he said.Credit to them, they managed it really really well.Id be reticent to do it. Its too risky. Especially with a young team.But you never know. You might have six to eight really sore bodies that could do with a rest.North Melbourne lost to Richmond in round 23 but won through to a preliminary final with the approach last year, beating the Tigers in an elimination final and Sydney the following week in their semi-final meeting.
