The Cubs are adjusting their schedule for the upcoming turn in order to keep Jason Hammel and Jeff Samardzija on a five-day schedule.
With Monday's off day, the Cubs are moving Jake Arrieta back to Thursday's game against the Padres, in order to give him extra time to work on his mechanics, according to MLB.com. The move also allows Hammel and Samardzija to remain on schedule, as they will not pitch Tuesday and Wednesday against the Yankees, respectively.
