Chicago, IL

At this year’s trade deadline, the Chicago Cubs were one of the teams on the fence. Were they going to be buyers, going for the playoffs? Or were they going to sell key pieces and look ahead to 2025 and beyond? Instead, they created a new way of handling the deadline, staying right on the fence.

Messick has a 1.99 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and a 62:11 K:BB in 45.1 innings across 10 appearances for Double-A Akron. The 23-year-old lefty began the year at High-A, registering a 3.57 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 80 strikeouts in 68 innings. He has been even better since getting the bump to Double-A and boasts a career-best 44 percent groundball rate at that level. A second-round selection in 2022, Messick is having his best season as a pro and could factor into Cleveland's rotation mix in 2025.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The Padres transferred Tatis (thigh) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. Tatis has already missed more than 60 days with a right femoral stress reaction, so the transaction won't affect his timeline for a return. While Tatis has been participating in some baseball activities as he works his way back from injury, it's not clear when he might be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Mason McCoy, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso.
