The Cubs Opening Day roster is not finalized, but it appears the bullpen will be without lefty Brian Duensing.
Sunday, the Cubs announced that they signed left-handed reliever Tim Collins. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the team designated Duensing, 36, for assignment.
Cubs signed LHP tim collins to major league deal. Duensing DFA’d to make room on 40-man. Collins optioned to AAA for now. Was in camp with Twins.

The Cubs could retain Duensing, though he has to pass through waivers first.
