Andrew Abbott takes the ball for Cincinnati against Kevin Gausman, with both clubs dealing with multiple injuries that thin their pitching depth and lineups. The season series favors Chicago 6-2, though the Reds captured the opener of this set 10-8, underscoring the potential for volatility in a matchup between inconsistent clubs.
