Mike Olt being placed on the 15 day disabled list opened up a spot on the Chicago Cubs’ roster which allowed for Kris Bryant‘s arrival – but when Olt does return healthy and the Cubs will be back to full strength – who will get sent down to the minors?
A lot of rosters usually look to the bullpen and send down a young arm to free up a spot and it does allow for the youngster to get more consistent work. But the Cubs already have a strapped bullpen with carrying three catchers – removing someone from the pen likely isn’t an option.
