Minor-league catcher Chairon Isenia has been cutting hair for about 10 years - including that of some teammates - and owns his own shop, the Change Up Barbershop, in his native Curacao. "It's got five chairs, and I'm planning to add to it," Isenia said. "It's like a hobby. It's fun."

THUMBS UP

Among the players who caught manager Joe Maddon's eye Saturday was pitcher Edwin Jackson. "Like him," Maddon said. "Like him. He's going to be really good."
