Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester (hamstring) is starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Lester was activated from the injured list Thursday after missing two-plus weeks with a left hamstring strain. He's expected to be limited to 75-80 pitches. The 35-year-old left-hander owns a 2.57 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 14 punchouts and 6 walks over 14 innings this season.
