The Chicago Cubs continue their MLB Spring Training campaign as they host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday at Sloan Park. Thursday's game comes on the heels of a game on Wednesday that cancelled after just four innings due to inclement weather.

The Cubs will look to get back on track against the Diamondbacks who will be sending veteran pitcher Madison Bumgarner to the mound. 

While once a perennial Cy Young candidate, Bumgarner is now in the twilight of his career. He will still pose a good test for this Chicago lineup as they ramp up for Opening Day. 

First pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CST and Drew Smyly is slated to take the mound for the Cubs. 

The game will be televised in the local Chicago market on the Marquee Sports Network. The Diamondbacks will have a televised feed on Bally Sports Arizona. It will also be streamed live on MLB.tv for those who reside outside the two markets.
