Cubs are in a pitching bind. They lost Cabrera last night for awhile (he would have thrown against us for sure this weekend) and have a double header today with two TBA starters (the Cubs Reddit boards yesterday were saying they have no idea who will throw today). They play then again tomorrow while we rest. 

Really good opportunity for us to take care of business against those hot dogs this weekend.

The off day tomorrow helps this situation, but it'd be nice to be able to use Anderson and Yoho today in reasonable situations. Just don't think Uribe, in particular, should be available here, and probably not Ashby either. Would like to preserve Patrick, too, but an inning would be ok.

Murph was really managing to win those games, especially last night, with his bullpen usage. I fully expected Grant Anderson at some point the last two nights, but Murphy went with his A team of Ashby, Uribe, Megill. 

Any thought if Anderson is quietly hurt? Hasn't pitched since last Thursday, and he has been quite good this year.

I'd be a little surprised if he's hurt, but ??? Anderson's role seems to be in lower leverage situations or when they've exhausted other preferred options (certainly Patrick and Ashby are ahead of him in line). Those situations are going to happen, but they're thankfully less frequent, because that often means mop-up duty while hoping the bats can mount a comeback. I agree he's been a worthy performer in this role, though - just don't want to have to make him "the man".
