Cubs use some sort of magic carpet between double-header games.

Note: I'm not complaining that this is a bug or anything.

So here I am, thinking the Cubs are going to be really strapped to find a rested starter after their double-header in Houston. Little did I realize that they had outsmarted me and secretly transported one of their AAA pitchers to Chicago ahead of time, then "officially" recalled him in time to start.

Very clever, AI.

edit: I originally thought this was done between the DH games, but I think now it was done after Game 2. Still a pretty fast ride!

This literally used to happen before the 26th/27th man rule.
