Maybe we should actually have a backup 3B

Sun Times on Twitter says Ramirez feels better so he won't be DL'ed "right now".

 

Apparently Scales was at Wrigley and in uniform before they told him they wouldn't need him and sent him back to Iowa. So close yet so far. :-))

As I understand it, since they didn't know this morning whether Ramirez would end up on the DL or not, the Cubs had Scales in Chicago and in uniform, which is smart enough: if Ramirez ended up on the DL, his replacement would have already been in Chicago.

 

It so happened that they opted not to disable Ramirez and thus Scales was sent back to Iowa. So he was at Wrigley and in uniform and was only an unfavorable MRI on Ramirez's calf away from being added to the roster, but it wasn't to be. Poor guy.

Dear Hendry: You ABSOLUTELY MUST bring up a third baseman before tomorrow's game (even if Aram is able to start). Koyie Hill as the only backup cannot be tolerated. Bye bye Gathright.
