Sweeney, Matt Szczur, and Jonathan Herrera are battling for the final two spots on the Cubs' bench, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports. With Chris Denorfia (hamstring) expected to start the year on the DL and Chris Coghlan (stiff neck) a little banged up, the veteran Sweeney would seem to have one of those two spots as he could play left field until the Coghlan/Denorfia duo are 100 percent. Then again, Szczur could handle that job as well.
