1. We don't know if he's ever going to come up.
2. If he does, it won't be until after six outings or so in Iowa. Just one so far, last night.
I think the Cubs will replace Atkins with a new reliever by Friday, and wouldn't be surprised to see Shark sent down for Stevens soon. The only reason I think Shark stayed up is because Stevens is a 2 innings maximum pitcher, whereas Shark can go more than that if needed. I disagree with the decision, just saying why they probably did.
