The Chicago Cubs begin a west coast road trip that will take them to three cities for nine games to wrap up the month of August. Here's the game time, probable pitchers, injured list, and how to watch the Cubs game today.

The Cubs recalled right-hander Javier Assad to start against the Angels on Friday. In a corresponding move, they put right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier on the 15-day injured list with a strained left groin.
