Cubs @ White Sox: Series Thread (Games 45 & 46)

The Cubs passed the quarter-way mark in their last series against the Reds, a series they opened with two wins and closed with two losses, including Thursday's 20-earned-runs-allowed blowout. A day off on Friday and a night sleeping in their hometown beds might help to press the reset button. They take on the Sox for two games this long weekend. See below for the matchups.

Game 45, Saturday, May 28, 6:15 pm central

CHC: TBD -- RHP Keegan Thompson likely to feature

CHW: RHP Johnny Cueto (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

Game 46, Sunday, May 29, 1:10 pm central

CHC: TBD -- LHP Wade Miley due up in the rotation

CHW: RHP Dylan Cease (4-1, 3.30 ERA)

My first thought was that Hendricks was IL'd with a broken ERA, but after some quick research, you're right about MLB making at least some effort to discourage the "phantom IL."

boston, houston, miami...lots of potential suitors for a backup 1st/DH who won't be pain if they need regular ABs

BOS 1B Casas just hit the IL. Maybe Cooper goes there.
Cooper leaving does open a 40man spot. Probably for an arm at some point.
Horton?
Maybe Caissie

now that cooper is gone, who's going to the IL? seems like it will probably be a pitcher at this point.

Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example.
Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster.
The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster.

Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.
