After adding four players before the trade deadline yesterday and getting 2 more back from the Injured List today, the Chicago Cubs had some major roster maneuvering on the to-do list (as you can tell by the lengthy headline), whichs just what they did.
Heres journalism release by means of Twitter:
Starting with the injured listees, Kris Bryant and Steven Souza Jr. have actually been triggered and included to the 28-man lineup. Bryant is beginning at 3rd base tonight and batting second, as we talked about previously, and Souza will be available off the bench. Both men got some at-bats at South Bend and were anticipated to rejoin the active roster today.
To make space on the active roster, (1) Tyler Chatwood is headed to the 10-Day IL, also as anticipated, after experiencing some elbow pain and (2) Albert Almora Jr. is heading to South Bend, which we learnt yesterday.
Can be found in.
– Jose Martinez (beginning tonight at DH) – Kris Bryant (starting tonight at 3B) – Steven Souza Jr. (offered off the bench) – Cameron Maybin (readily available off the bench) – Josh Osich (available out of the pen) – Andrew Chafin (on the IL).
Beginning with the hurt listees, Kris Bryant and Steven Souza Jr. have actually been activated and added to the 28-man roster. Both people got some at-bats at South Bend and were expected to rejoin the active roster today.
The Cubs discovered room on the active lineup for 3 of their four due date additions, DH Jose Martinez (starting tonight), outfielder Cameron Maybin, and left-handed reducer Josh Osich. The fourth deadline gamer, Andrew Chafin, is on the Cubs now, but remains on the IL and off the 28-man lineup for now.

On the other hand, the Cubs discovered space on the active lineup for 3 of their 4 due date additions, DH Jose Martinez (beginning tonight), outfielder Cameron Maybin, and left-handed reliever Josh Osich. The fourth deadline player, Andrew Chafin, is on the Cubs now, but stays on the IL and off the 28-man roster for now. The hope is he can contribute in a couple weeks.
Josh Phegley was already designated for task to assist include the newbies, and now we discover that Casey Sadler has been DFA d, as well. The Cubs now have seven days to trade, waive, or release Sadler. The hope, as always, is that he will clear waivers, and after that hell have the ability to choose whether he wishes to end up being a free representative or instead go to the Cubs alternate website, where he might possibly return up eventually over the last month of the season. Sadler had a 5.79 ERA (6.56 FIP) with an 18.2% walk rate in his 10 looks this year.
Heres where things stand (there are many moving parts).
Going out.
– Albert Almora Jr. (optioned to SB) – Tyler Chatwood (10-Day IL) – Josh Phegley (DFA) – Casey Sadler (DFA).
Cubs 60-man gamer pool lineup stands at 58, with 28 active players on the major league lineup, two gamers on the IL, and 28 gamers in South Bend.
