GLENDALE, Ariz. — Left-hander Derek Holland will make his third start of the spring Friday when the Cubs visit the White Sox Friday at Camelback Ranch (2:05 p.m.).

Holland, signed during the offseason to a one-year, $6 million deal, will face the Cubs top lineup:

Kyle Schwarber, RF, Kris Bryant 3B, Anthony Rizzo 1B, Ben Zobrist 2B, Anthony Russell SS, Jason Heyward CF, Willson Contreras C, Tommy LaStella DH, John Jay CF.

Right-hander Duane Underwood starts for the Cubs against this Sox lineup:

Peter Bourjos CF, Melky Cabrera LF, Jose Abreu 1B, Todd Frazier 3B, Avisail Garcia RF, Tim Anderson SS, Tyler Saladino 2B, Geovany Soto C, Danny Hayes DH.
