In addition to activating backup catcher Austin Romine, the Cubs made some transactions with their pitching staff on Wednesday. They have activated righty Jason Adam from the COVID-19 related injured list and have selected righty Shelby Miller from the alternate site at South Bend. In order to make room on the roster for those pitchers, both Adbert Alzolay and Brad Wieck have been optioned to the alternate site.
That’s not really a matter of performance, but is more about getting fresh arms back up to the big league roster and limiting Alzolay’s innings in what the Cubs hope will be his first full, healthy season.
