Acquiring a SP perhaps? It’s either that or push Wood back into the rotation.

No, wada is coming back.
Ry.the.Stunner
From what I’ve read, he’s struggled in his rehab outing and will probably have at least one more appearance left. They need a 5th starter, why would they designate Richard before Wada is actually back?

CJ Edwards maybe?
Ry.the.Stunner
He’s currently working as (and is projected to be) a reliever. I don’t think they’d call him up and then immediately stretch him into the starter role.

They recalled Dallas Beeler to be the fifth starter, at least for today
Ry.the.Stunner
Yeah, but he’s only taking the 26th spot on the roster that is allowed for double headers. They didn’t need to designate anyone to call him up.

He wasn’t producing at replacement level so why not just use a replacement player, your table is ready Dallas.

The Cubs had a 13 inning game yesterday and have a double header today. They needed a fresh arm, and Richard hasn’t pitched well enough to force the Cubs to keep him (plus Richard isn’t available to pitch today).

I read last night wada is in line to pitch Sunday if they recall him

Trade Clayton Richard for Fernando Rodney…purely just a move of first names
