Probably good to get a day off after a long road trip.Tonight's game postponed.
Split DH on Saturday.
How cool would Horton be Saturday night? Probably add a reliever though since we are temp on a 6 man rotation.Tonight's game postponed.
Split DH on Saturday.
Where does Dansby go? A Busch, Hoerner, Swanson, Shaw infield would be elite defensivelyI think Hoerner gets traded for pitching once Shaw is established. He's a shortstop, and a good one, for like 24 franchises.

I'm a big Hoerner fan, there will come the day the Cubs have to pay him. But until then, I feel having: Hoerner 2B/SS, Swanson SS, Morel 3B/DH & Shaw 3B/2B would be an elite infield rotation. That's 486 starts to split among 4 guys.If Morel can master 3B, which i mean play competently he's staying put. Shaw has only played 3B because that's the likely quickest path if Morel can't. Shaw was a SS in college. He can play 2nd as can Morel. If/when Shaw is ready they'll find him a spot. Hoerner is the weakest offense player of the 3. Busch, Shaw, Swanson and Morel along with Caissie and Suzuki in the OF could give us a lineup much like the Braves.
Based on his tweet today, I’d say he didn’t know.Would be curious if Wesneski knew when called up it would be short lived. Crazy, guy possibly has the best outing of any pitcher this season and is sent down in less than 24Hrs.
He has to be in Iowa for 15 days UNLESS he replaces an injured player or he could be the 27th player for the DH Saturday.I doubt he heads back to Iowa, probably stay in Chicago until he's eligible to be recalled.
Pretty cold if not, in the T Mac interview he said yesterday the GF was headed to Chicago.
Got brought up on Twitter by a Cubs account I follow that he likely was gonna not be about to throw for a few days anyway so depending on what he has for options left it makes some sense.Sending Wesneski back to Iowa after the outing he had makes no sense unless they anticipate another pitching IL move coming. The Wisdom for Mastrobouni move is nothing more than shuffling the deck as neither player really belongs on the 40 man roster if the Cubs are serious about competing for the playoffs this year. If Carl Edward Jr shows anything of a capable reliever in his appearances at Iowa I'd not flinch at DFA either of them to make room for him and if he sucks then cut him and call up the next non 40 man guy that is hot at the time
He can be in Chicago but on the Iowa roster. Somebody is getting moved to make room for him when he's ready to throw again.He has to be in Iowa for 15 days UNLESS he replaces an injured player or he could be the 27th player for the DH Saturday.
I could see him staying through Saturday, assuming he’d be available after throwing yesterday.
Sure, but if no one is injured or he’s not going to be added Saturday, he’s not going to stay in Chicago for 15 daysHe can be in Chicago but on the Iowa roster. Somebody is getting moved to make room for him when he's ready to throw again.
BN says he's the logical additional roster spot on Saturday.Sure, but if no one is injured or he’s not going to be added Saturday, he’s not going to stay in Chicago for 15 days
Right, which is what I said initiallyBN says he's the logical additional roster spot on Saturday.
Cubs Roster Moves: Wisdom and Taillon Are Back, Wesneski and Mastrobuoni Are Out - Bleacher Nation
The Chicago Cubs today announced a set of roster moves that'll see Patrick Wisdom and Jameson Taillon returning.www.bleachernation.com
Wisdom gives you so much more. Dude mashes left handed pitching for the most part and has enough positional flexibility that he works as a bench piece.Sending Wesneski back to Iowa after the outing he had makes no sense unless they anticipate another pitching IL move coming. The Wisdom for Mastrobouni move is nothing more than shuffling the deck as neither player really belongs on the 40 man roster if the Cubs are serious about competing for the playoffs this year.
