Cubs' Ian Happ and White Sox Lucas Giolito to take part in 'MLB The Show' video game tournament


Maybe it’s in home cities, Florida, or Arizona, but the delay for the COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t appear to be close to ending soon.


So unable to compete in reality, Major League Baseball is turning to a virtual tournament to keep fans and players engaged the next few weeks.


In this tournament, the Cubs will be represented by outfielder Ian Happ and the White Sox by starting pitcher Lucas Giolito.


The top eight players will advance to the playoffs, which consist of a Division, League, and World Series.


He’ll face Luke Jackson of the Braves, Bo Bichette of the Blue Jays, Ryne Stanek of the Marlins, and Jeff McNeil of the Mets in a quartet of three-inning games.


Happ will start his play on Monday, facing Blake Snell of the Rays, Cole Tucker of the Pirates, Matt Carpenter of the Cardinals, and Tommy Kahnle of the Yankees.
