QUOTABLE
"The umpire told me (I) paused (in) the motion. But over the course of my career, I've done that many times and it was never called balk." -- Darvish on the balk.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Braves: RHP Brandon McCarthy is on track to make his next start after dislocating his left shoulder at Washington on Wednesday. "He's fine," manager Brian Snitker said. ... RHP Aaron Blair (right shoulder) is scheduled to be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday. He left Wednesday's start at Triple-A Gwinnett after injuring his arm. Blair made 15 starts for the Braves in 2016 and one last season.
Cubs: Manager Joe Maddon said he thinks 1B Anthony Rizzo (back) will be ready to return from the 10-day disabled list when he is eligible against St. Louis on Monday. "He's making great progress," Maddon said. ... CF Albert Almora was scratched because of an illness. Ian Happ started and led off in his place.
UP NEXT
Braves: LHP Sean Newcomb (1-1, 4.35 ERA) looks to build on a scoreless six-inning performance against Colorado on Sunday.
Cubs: LHP Jose Quintana (1-1, 4.50) goes for back-to-back wins after throwing six scoreless innings at Milwaukee on Sunday.

I don’t know why it hasn’t been mentioned, but when Darvish paused in the middle of his motion, he turned his head and looked back at the runner at second base. That’s exactly when and why the balk was called and rightfully so, that was BS.
