Cantillo made eight starts for the Guardians last year but did not face the Cubs. He made 21 relief appearances for them this year before being sent down about a month ago. His max pitch count in those 21 appearances was 55, back in April, and in four starts at Columbus his max pitch count was 62. So he’s likely on a pitch limit tonight.

The Cleveland Guardians visit the Chicago Cubs in the Thursday finale of their 3-game series at Wrigley Field.

Every Cubs batter who stepped up to the plate in the 2nd inning against the Guardians on Tuesday reached safely, but baserunning errors cut the rally short.
