If you missed it, the Cubs DFA’d Brad Brach to open up the necessary spot for Cole Hamels. That’s a “big boy” move for the front office, which is nice to see.
The #SBCubs received the help of the 2016 World Series MVP last night in a 2-1 walk-off win over West Michigan! Ben Zobrist reached base once and made a couple loud outs in his first rehab game.

For whatever reason, Kyle Ryan's final pitch yesterday is cracking me up. I guess it's the combination of how far left he gets, how the pitch is actually outside but looks like it's about center (easiest pitch to frame ever), and how the ump stabs the batter. pic.twitter.com/t4Bhw1fV6h

I’m told that Adbert Alzolay is very close to a return to the @IowaCubs. He’s been on the injured list with a bicep injury. #Cubs
