Chicago Cubs: Why Xavier Cedeno’s return could prove critical

The Chicago Cubs made a roster move Saturday morning, calling up left-handed reliever Xavier Cedeno and placing Allen Webster on the IL, per MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian. The club signed Cedeno, 32, as a free agent this offseason but he missed the first month due to a wrist injury. The southpaw spent the beginning of the season in extended spring training and making rehab appearances in the minors.

Currently, the Chicago bullpen is all over the place, despite some of the recent success it had the last few weeks of April and in the Cardinals series last weekend.
