The Cubs can call up three players for their next games (Friday). Two would be for the routine September call-ups, and one would be the extra man for a doubleheader.
Who will they be?
EDIT: I'm seeing a mixture of assertions online regarding whether teams get an extra player for doubleheaders in September. The most authoritative answer from MLB seems to be, "No."

Boxberger Higgins and Kilian as the 29th man for the DH

I’ll kill the messenger by selecting Mervis, Crow-Armstrong and Little. That would be, in my opinion, maybe the most exciting trio. Yet I’m sure that your three are more practical. So my guys will probably stay where they are…
What I can’t figure is why Kilian can perform at a high level in AAA but in the majors he seems to forget how to pitch. I guess it might simply be a confidence problem, which leads me to the question: Is this the best time for him to be trying to eliminate the rather large kinks? I don’t doubt he can do it; I’m just going to be on the edge of my seat when he tries.

I guess Boxberger would be okay just for his experience, and there isn't an obvious glaring hole anywhere now like there was earlier in the season so the other two can get their cups of coffee and we'll know more about who to keep an eye on for next year.
So PCA and Slaughter would be the two. We don't have voids at their usual positions, but we need to see what they can do sooner than later.
I'm sorry Patrick, but you're too much like Dave Kingman. It's time for us to move on.

I want it to be PCA and Little and also DFA Wisdon and add Canario or Mervis , but I realize I might not get any of those and I could see it end up being Boxberger and Higgins which would really piss me off and the extra man for the DH woulb be Shane Greene .

If Higgins gets the call, he can play 1st base. So there's a chance of seeing less of Wisdom at 1st.
That's all I got, a little silver lining.

Canario will be added to the roster per multi sources! Yes , but that means no PCA unless they trim a spot like WISDOM !!! Come on Jed , adding Canario makes having Wisdom still on the roster even more redundant now. Atleast tell him he's injured again . |

lets go to Wrigley and march around the ball park with signs. DFA Wisdom If I didn't live in NY I'd be there, LOL. Seriously though why is he still here ? Don't need him at 3b , they have Cadelario , Madrigal, Morel , Mastrobouni Don't need him at 1b they have Bellinger, Candelario Don't need him as a RH DH or pinch hitter they have Morel, Madrigal, Gomes/Amaya , Canario They only thing I can think of is team chemistry and fearing cutting him loose might bum guys out ? |

What it looks like Cubs have two 40 man roster spots open Boxberger - Will be activated from the 60 day IL and placed back on the 40 man Shane Greene - added to the 40 man Canario - already on the 40 man roster Rosters expand to 28 Boxberger and Canario take the two extra spots Greene will be the 27th man in the double header |

PCA and Luke Little have to be added tonight to the 40 man roster to be eligible for the postseason.
There is a loophole, if a player gets placed on the 60 day IL, they can add either one and be eligible. So lets say Stroman cannot make it back in time they can place him on the 60 day IL and add Luke Little.

Congrats to Canario!!!!
He would of been on the MLB team likely out of spring training if it was not for the injury, he deserved this!
