Maddon shakes things up with American Legion week

CHICAGO -- Travis Wood and Kyle Schwarber arrived at Wrigley Field about 15 minutes before the clubhouse opened at 3 p.m. CT and had to wait. It's part of American Legion week, which is Cubs manager Joe Maddon's plan to freshen up the players and give them time to rest.

"This is a time when the players are a little bit tired, so they can come a little bit later," said Maddon, who has done this in the past, and almost always in mid-August.

When the clubhouse will be open is posted each day.
