WASHINGTON -- The Chicago Cubs added right-hander Shawn Armstrong to their active roster on Saturday, one day after they claimed him off waivers from St. Louis.
Armstrong is 3-2 with a 4.85 ERA in 49 games for the Rays and Cardinals this season, including seven starts. He has pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings of three-hit ball over his last seven appearances.
The Cubs also optioned right-hander Daniel Palencia to Triple-A Iowa before their game at Washington. Catcher Tomás Nido was released. Nido hit .128 in 17 games this season with Chicago.
