Your Sunday Jeff Samardzija update

Officially, all's quiet on the Jeff Samardzija trade front. Except for the Erik Johnson part.

Erik Johnson was originally scheduled to pitch for Charlotte last night until early Saturday afternoon when the starter was switched to TBD. Eventually, Johnson's next start was pushed to Tuesday, which is the same day as Jeff Samardzija's next scheduled start. Officially, both teams have no starters listed yet for Tuesday.

Faced with a similar dilemma in 2013, the White Sox called up Andre Rienzo prior to trading Jake Peavy to take Peavy's last scheduled start.
