    3 takeaways from Cubs' West Coast trip, including Kyle Hendricks' struggles and Christopher Morel's stellar defense

    Hayden Wesneski's phone kept buzzing with so many missed calls and text messages in the wee hours Wednesday that he eventually awoke to find it on the floor. Thankfully, Wesneski got an assist from his Triple-A Iowa roommate Matt Mervis, who woke him up at 1 a.m. with a knock on the door to let him know their manager, Marty Pevey, was trying to get ahold of him.

The on-field call by first base umpire Doug Eddings determined Rodríguez was safe, though ...
