MESA, Ariz. -- The Chicago Cubs released reliever Carl Edwards Jr. and infielder Dominic Smith on Sunday.

Edwards and Smith were in camp on minor league contracts.

The 32-year-old Edwards was trying to make the Cubs' roster again after he broke into the majors with the team in 2015. He spent the past two years with Washington, going 7-6 with four saves and a 3.07 ERA in 89 appearances.

Edwards missed most of last season after he was placed on the injured list in June with right shoulder inflammation.
