looks like on/off rain for hours.  whenever they start they might not stop unless the field turns to muck.

Game under rain delay. 

I see umbrellas on the Wrigley Marquee webcam

Also, Madrigal to IL, Jared Young called up.

Young at Iowa:

In 90 games in Triple-A, Young has slashed .310/.417/.577, amounting to a .995 OPS with 16 doubles, 21 home runs and 50 walks.

i still can't believe a banged up bryce harper playing DH/1st is any worse than schwarber in the OF.  schwarber's never been a good OF'r, but the past 2 years have been epic bad...like, worse than keith moreland bad.

Kyle Schwarber hit his #45 HR in the Phils win tonight, on the flip side, his batting average is .197.

a.wainwright throws 7ip of scoreless ball vs MIL (7ip 4h 2bb 3k).  it's his only scoreless outing of 2023 and his first since August of last year.  he did it at home and the crowd was giving him huge props during the 7th while he was getting through it.  he has been absolutely consistently terrible this year.

also, contreras hit his 20th HR, 3 seasons in a row of 20+ homers...4 if you want to toss out the 2000 COVID season.
