The Cubs won't be adding a starter unless Yu is hurt worse than reported.

Bleacher Nation just tweeted out a story that the Blue Jays are scouting the Brewers system pretty heavily.

Edwards walked 2 and hit a batter in 2/3 at Iowa. Only 6 strikes out of 19 pitches.

Bryant's shoulder is still sore and he will be reevaluated on Friday.  Not good.

There’s some buzz about that the Cubs are trying to get Michael Fulmer, but I can’t even imagine what that would cost. The Tigers supposedly turned down Schwaber for him last year.

Hug watch was in full force for a while, though.

Both Mark Gonzalez and Carrie Muskat have noted that today's Game Notes make no mention of pitching assignments for the three game series with the Reds that starts on Friday.

Mark Gonzales  @MDGonzales   5m5 minutes ago

Cubs notes: Anthony Bass has started his Cubs career without issuing a walk in his first 13 1/3 innings. Ed Hartig reports this is a franchise record dating back to at least 1907.

Chicago Cubs  @Cubs   6s6 seconds ago

The #Cubs today recalled catcher Victor Caratini from @IowaCubs. Catcher Chris Gimenez has been designated for assignment.

If one was especially tinfoil hatted, they might suggest the Gimenez move means the Cubs don't think Yu will be back anytime soon.
