Some unexpected developments on the roster front. The Cubs put Lackey and Rondon on the DL as precautionary measures, whatever that means. They recalled two guys no one has ever heard of, a starter named Zastryzny and a reliever named Pena. I'd have expected Cahill to pick up Lackey's start, but maybe not.
Earlier they put the dreadful Joe Smith on the DL and recalled Patton, who pitched well on Thursday in relief. Also DLed Coghlan to allow Cahill to remain active. LaStella has evidently agreed to reort to AA Tennessee, though I read somewhere that he got hit in the foot in his first game there. Expect him back soon to take Coghlan's spot.
Finally, Maddon has benched/rested Heyward for the Colorado series. Strange stuff that, though Heyward right now is really messed up at the plate.
