....If it is withdrawn he can not be waived again by that team for 30 days.


Perfect!  That's the info I wanted.  So, that's a pretty limited opportunity.

St Louis is up against Bailey tonight so Cubs will need to win to keep their lead.

Chicago Cubs  @Cubs   2m2 minutes ago
The #Cubs today placed OF Jason Heyward on the 10-day DL with right hamstring tightness and recalled RHP Dillon Maples from @IowaCubs.

The Cubs were waiting to see if tonight's game would be rained out before making this decision.

Bryant and Russell back tomorrow.  Obviously the Cubs have plenty of lineup options from the right side, but without Heyward they look pretty weak from the left - Almora starting tonight is evidence of that.  May see more of Russell at SS, Baez at 3B and Bryant in the OF.

Was the bullpen so short that they needed to DL Heyward the day before the rosters expand? Seems weird to lock him in to missing 10 games just so they can have a 9th reliever for a day.

As of tonight, the top 3 records in the NL are all in the Central division.

I have to imagine quite a few more pitchers are coming.

You must not be aware how barren Iowa is.

At some point I suspect Smyly will get the call.

Is it possible that they put him on the DL because he was, you know, injured?

Is it possible the move was a result of believing he needed to be out for ten days and that it had nothing to do with roster gamesmanship?
