You know the drill, just rolling with the media release for the sake of time. The only commentary I’ll add is that Daniel Palencia has looked really good at Iowa lately and his return to Chicago was overdue.
The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitchers Daniel Palencia and Keegan Thompson from Triple-A Iowa. The team placed right-handed pitcher Julian Merryweather on the 15-day injured list with right knee tendinitis (retroactive to August 26) and optioned right-handed pitcher Jack Neely to Triple-A Iowa.
Palencia, 24, is 0-1 with a 6.
