The Chicago Cubs are facing off against the Chicago White Sox in a Cactus League spring training game at Camelback Ranch. The Cubs are sending reliever Riley Martin to the mound as an opener in a bullpen game, while the White Sox will start right-hander Davis Martin. The game will be broadcast on both TV and radio, though not on the Cubs' own network.
Why it matters
This matchup between the crosstown rivals provides an opportunity for players on both teams to get valuable spring training reps and for fans to get an early look at the teams before the regular season begins. The game also highlights the depth of the Cubs' pitching staff as they experiment with a bullpen game approach.
The details
Riley Martin, a 27-year-old lefty from Quincy, Illinois, will make the start for the Cubs. Though he has spent most of his professional career as a reliever, Martin has been used as an opener a few times. Cubs manager Craig Counsell is opting for a bullpen game approach in this contest. On the other side, the White Sox will send 29-year-old right-hander Davis Martin to the mound. Davis Martin made 25 starts and one relief appearance for the White Sox last season, posting decent results despite some underlying metrics that suggest he should have struggled more.
- The game is scheduled for a 3:05pm CT first pitch on March 13, 2026.
- Due to a heat wave expected in the Phoenix area in the coming days, some Cactus League games will be flexed into the evening hours to avoid the worst of the triple-digit temperatures, including both ends of the Cubs' split-squad doubleheader next Friday.
