CHICAGO -- Last Thursday, Clayton Richard was a minor leaguer in the Pittsburgh Pirates system. On Friday, he was a member of the Chicago Cubs, and a day later, he was starting at Wrigley Field.
That's quite a few days for the 31-year-old left-hander, who hadn't pitched in a major league game since June 21, 2013.
