The Chicago Cubs have made their 2017 NLDS roster official, as Game 1 begins tonight at 6:30 p.m. against the Washington Nationals.
Almost all of the players were expected to make Joe Maddon’s 25-man roster for the best-of-five series, but there is one surprise.

Outfielder Leonys Martin, reliever Justin Wilson and starter John Lackey made it, but Hector Rondon did not.
