Congratulations are in order for Cubs reliever Carl Edwards Jr.!
#Cubs Edwards is headed home to await birth of 2nd child so he's on paternity list. Rob Zastryzny is with team

All the best to CJ and his family. This comes at a good time, actually, as since CJ threw 31 pitches Friday night, he likely wasn’t available tonight or possibly even tomorrow. He’ll be back with the club after the All-Star break, most likely.
Rob Zastryzny has a 1.69 ERA and 1.313 WHIP in five appearances with the Cubs this year covering 5x innings. That’s in two different stints with the big-league club, though my recollection is that Rob Z. was called up one other time and didn’t get in a game.
No 40-man roster move was needed for this recall, so the Cubs’ 40-man roster remains at 38.
A full preview for tonight’s Cubs game against the Padres in San Diego will post here at 7 p.m. CT.
