MESA, Ariz. — The Chicago Cubs have released reliever Carl Edwards Jr. and infielder Dominic Smith. Edwards and Smith were in camp on minor league contracts. The 32-year-old Edwards was trying to make the Cubs' roster again after he broke into the majors with the team in 2015. He spent the last two years with Washington, going 7-6 with four saves and a 3.07 ERA in 89 appearances. The Cubs have 34 players left in major league camp. They visit Texas on Thursday for opening day.
