Addison Russell heads to the DL with a sprained left middle finger. Right shoulder is barking too, but the finger is the official reason he's shelved for now. Daniel Murphy active and leading off.

But looks like a setback for Morrow - leaving the team to head back to Chicago for "more tests".  Not a great FA crop for Theo so far.

For #Cubs numbers geeks, Daniel Murphy will wear No. 3

Thank. God.

I'm not sure I understand how the Cubs were able to get Murphy.  It seems like a number of contending teams would have had interest in him and would have had the ability to offer more than what the Nats received.  Explanation?

Aidan Jackson-Evans

Most pickoff attempts by an #MLB catcher, 2018:

73 = Willson Contreras
28 = Martín Maldonado
23 = Manny Piña

#Cubs' Contreras has attempted more than 2.5 times as many pickoffs as any other catcher in the majors this season.

A claiming team would have been on the hook for $4 million.  Some teams are poor and others have luxury tax concerns.

Thanks, Jeff.  That seems like a relatively small price to pay for a team that's on the playoff bubble.

The Cubs may have a deal with another team that, in return, they'll pass on a player the other team is interested in.

Marrow is more just checking again to make sure nothing is wrong vs a setback from what I've seen.

Dillon Maples recalled


Maples probably goes back to Iowa to make room for Alec Mills on Friday.
