## Resource

The Cubs surprise fans by recalling pitcher Javier Assad from Triple-A, reviving a player who’s been up and down this season but boasts a solid 6-1 record and 3.46 ERA in 22 games — despite a rougher stint in the minors. With a two-game win streak on the line against Miami, the move signals confidence in Assad’s return, as they send Tyler Ferguson down to make room. Can he seize this opportunity and reignite his major league form? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
