Tyler O’Neill was supposed to serve as the designated hitter today at Wrigley Field, but he’s been removed from the lineup due to an unspecified illness.
O’Neill has made two trips to the injured list this season with neck inflammation and a left shoulder impingement. He went 9-for-16 and hit a home run in four consecutive games between July 24-29 but has gone 0-for-9 in his last three games.
Interim manager Tony Mansolino has moved Gunnar Henderson from shortstop to designated hitter. Luis Vázquez enters the new lineup at shortstop, and he’s batting ninth.
O’Neill was supposed to bat fifth. Coby Mayo moves up one spot.
