A little bullpen shuffling tonight for the Cubs, but it’s for a good reason:

Congrats to Carl Edwards Jr., and also it’s not bad timing for the Cubs. Having throw a lot last night, Edwards probably would have been down tonight anyway. Then, he misses tomorrow, and boom, it’s the All-Star break.
As for Zastryzny, he’s been among the hoard of relievers riding the shuttle this year, and his story has been very similar to almost all of theirs: fantastic results, dodgy peripherals. Having this Cubs defense behind you certainly helps.
