So just kind of day-by-day, week-by-week and whatever makes the most sense. The roster has some ebbs and flows to it, with an injury here and there. I love the flexibility it certainly gives us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>With Judge taking over in center, Joey Gallo (who didn\u2019t start Friday because the Cubs had lefty Wade Miley on the mound) has moved from left field to right field, where he has said he is more comfortable, with Aaron Hicks shifting from center to left.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>After a mostly brutal first two months of the season for Gallo and rough May for Hicks, both outfielders started June on a much better note.<\/p>\n<p>Before both went hitless Friday, Gallo was batting .320 with three home runs and a 1.113 OPS over his previous seven games while Hicks was hitting .407 with a 1.019 OPS over his past eight games.<\/p>\n<p>Hicks, who went 0-for-5 with a hard lineout against the Cubs, had recorded three straight multi-hit games, the same amount he had during the entire month of May in which he hit .127 with a .394 OPS across 24 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s worked really hard as he\u2019s grinded through this and obviously struggled a lot there in the previous month,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI feel like he\u2019s just getting on time a little bit better. Getting that foot down and in position to hit earlier and on time. As a result, he\u2019s starting to make some better swing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gallo homered twice in Thursday\u2019s win over the Twins, didn\u2019t start Friday, but entered as a pinch-runner in the eighth inning, went 0-for-2 and scored the winning run as the ghost-runner in the 13th inning.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>The Cubs placed former Mets right-hander Marcus Stroman on the injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation. The Long Island native last pitched on June 3, giving up nine earned runs in four innings against St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>Stroman, who signed a three-year, $71 million deal with the Cubs last offseason, owns a 5.32 ERA in nine starts.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
