As the Chicago Cubs try to find the best ways to deploy left-hander Drew Smyly in the rotation, they have optimized matchups the last two turns through.Twice Smyly was lined up to start against a right-handed-heavy St. Louis Cardinals lineup, and amid his struggles over his last two outings, the Cubs opted to start a righty and piggyback Smyly in relief. That meant reliever Michael Fulmer serving as a two-inning opener Saturday versus the Cardinals at Wrigley Field and Hayden Wesneski getting the call Friday at Busch Stadium.The Cubs recalled Wesneski from Triple-A Iowa and optioned reliever Michael Rucker before the game.“Trying to get the best pitchers as a whole, get our best arms up here,” manager David Ross said of the move. “He’s been throwing the ball really well and we’ve had some some taxing innings on the bullpen a little bit so, just giving (Michael) Fulmer or whoever we would have started today a little bit of a breather before we go to Drew...A Bay Area man fatally stabbed a woman and posted video of it on Facebook, police say

The dust has started to settle in Queens, but these next few days are set to bring more uncertainty and more than likely, more player movement. At some point, it will be time to unpack what comes next for the organization, but right now, with the trade deadline only a few days away, the only thing the Mets can do is continue to play baseball.After trading closer David Robertson just around midnight Thursday, the mood inside the locker room was a mix of shock, disappointment and relief. What the future holds for the team is unknown. There seemed to be some surprise at the fact that the return for Robertson was two teenagers instead of prospects who are knocking at the door of the big leagues, but ultimately, the Mets understand that it’s out of their hands.“We can’t really control what’s going on in the front office,” said first baseman Pete Alonso. “The only thing we can control is winning ballgames.
