The Chicago Cubs are calling up top first base prospect Matt Mervis, sources tell ESPN. He's expected to join the team tomorrow as it returns home to start a series against Miami. Mervis, 25, was hitting .286/.402/.560 with six HR in 24 games at Triple-A Iowa. Big power prospect.
I’m not going to be able to explain the feeling of getting on the mound against another team for the first time in over a year and a half. Soon to come.

caught up with
@BKingSports
on his
@FourWindsField
debut and the immediate impact he made by going 2/4 with a RBI on Saturday.
Ryan Jensen starts his night with 9 up and 9 down.
Which means in his last 45 batters faced, it’s: 42 outs, 1 single, 1 walk, 1 HBP.
That is, (checks notes), good.
