PHOENIX – At around 1 a.m., right-hander Hayden Wesneski woke up to the sound of his roommate, first base prospect Matt Mervis, knocking at his door.
Triple-A Iowa manager Marty Pevey had been trying to reach Wesneski, who had missed so many calls while he was asleep that his phone had fallen to the floor. The Cubs were recalling him, and he needed to get to Arizona before their afternoon game Wednesday.
“It’s just one of those things where you just have to focus on the job,” said Wesneski, who pitched four scoreless innings in the Cubs’ 5-3 win Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
