CHICAGO -- The Cubs have done the heaviest lifting they will do before the trade deadline, in acquiring Aroldis Chapman, one of the two best relievers available. But with a little less than 20 hours before Mondays trade deadline, they will drop one more veteran player into the rumor mix, with a national television audition.The Cubs have rearranged their rotation, pushing other starters back by one day, so that they could call up left-hander Brian Matusz from the minors to start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday Night Baseball. The 29-year-old lefty has more than six years in the big leagues with the Baltimore Orioles, mostly as a reliever, but he was cut loose by the Os earlier this season.He has an out in his contract with the Cubs, and the team needed to decide by Tuesday whether to add him to the major league roster.Matusz, a former No. 1 pick with a lot of experience, is someone the Cubs think is better than he showed with the Orioles earlier this year. So Matusz will have a chance to show the Cubs what he has against a Mariners lineup that generally leans left, with Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager, etc.He also gets to show 29 other teams how he has made adjustments. The Cubs could keep him for themselves, or perhaps Matusz will draw interest from other teams before the trade deadline, in a market that is regarded to be historically thin in starting pitching.After Matusz reached free agency, the Cubs sent him a presentation, in an effort to sign him, about specific adjustments they thought he could make with his legs in his delivery; Kyle Evans, the teams director of major league scouting, generated the ideas.The Cubs have felt those changes have helped Matusz, and in particular, theyve helped his changeup. In two starts with Triple-A Iowa, Matusz allowed two earned runs, seven hits and three walks, striking out 11.This represents a chance for Matusz to jump-start a career on a big stage, against Seattles Felix Hernandez, with the whole baseball world watching for the next best deal. Calle Jarnkrok Jersey . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night.

Scott Hartnell Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Roman Josi Jersey .

Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. STORRS, Conn. -- UConn, one of several programs being mentioned as a potential candidate for expansion by the Big 12 Conference, is dealing with something new in Bob Diacos third season as its head coach: higher expectations.The Huskies, who went 2-10 in 2014, improved to 6-7 last season. They also handed Houston its only regular-season loss before falling to Marshall 16-10 in the St. Petersburg Bowl -- UConns first bowl game in five years.The team returns 15 starters this season and fans are hoping the Huskies can make a statement loud enough to be heard by those making the expansion decisions in Texas. Diaco said hes not paying attention to what is being said outside the program but embraces the enthusiasm.If you cant get excited about people really wanting you to achieve, then youre in the wrong business, youre in the wrong game, Diaco said. Its the best. I love that.The Huskies ranked just 117th in the nation in total offense last season, but return four starters from its offensive line, and will get back center Ryan Crozier, who missed last season with a knee injury.Junior quarterback Bryant Shirreffs threw for 2,078 yards and nine touchdowns, and ran for 503 yards, a year ago. He is back and so is his top target, Noel Thomas, who caught 54 passes for 719 yards and three TDs.Diaco said Shirreffs isnt a lock to be the teams starting quarterback and is being pushed by senior Garrett Anderson, a junior-college transfer who played some receiver last year.The defense, which gave up just 19.5 points per game, is expected to be the teams strength, led by safety Obi Melifonwu.We have a base, a foundation and a building, said linebacker Matt Walsh. Now were just putting a whole other floor on it.Here are some of the other things to watch for in advance of UConns season opener on Sept. 1 against Maine:KEY GAMESUConns position in the American Athletic Conference could be decided during a key stretch that begins wiith a Sept.dddddddddddd. 29 visit to Houston, which lost to the Huskies 20-17 in East Hartford last year. UConn then returns home to face Cincinnati on Oct. 8. Both programs have been mentioned in Big 12 expansion talks. The Huskies also renew their rivalry with Boston College at Chestnut Hill on Nov. 19.RUNNING BACKSThe tailback tandem of Arkeel Newsome and Ron Johnson are back after combining for 1,016 rushing yards last season. Backup Josh Marriner transferred to Old Dominion during the offseason. Two freshmen on the roster, Nate Hopkins and JaKevious Vickers, could also get some carries.DAVIS SWITCHTyler Davis has switched positions. Recruited as a quarterback, the 6-foot-4, 235-pound redshirt freshman will instead be catching passes and running out of the F or slot-back position this year. Diaco said it didnt make much sense to have someone as athletically talented as Davis sitting on the bench as a backup quarterback.Theres so many jobs he can do for the team more than just stand on the sidelines and wait to go in at quarterback after two or three guys have a problem, he said. Get him in a spot where he can be an impact player.GAMEDAY EXPERIENCEAthletic director David Benedict says he wants to improve the game-day experience to get more fans to Rentschler Field. He has cut the prices of some concessions and eased parking restrictions in an effort to encourage tailgating. He also announced that plans for a ticket surcharge that would help pay for new soccer, baseball and softball fields at the school wont be implemented this season.PREDICTIONA 7-5 season and a second consecutive bowl game would be another step forward for UConn, though it may not be enough to convince the Big 12 that UConn football is worth adding.---This story has been corrected to show 2014 record was 2-10.
