CHICAGO -- The Cubs have placed catcher David Ross on the bereavement list and recalled outfielder Matt Szczur from Triple-A Iowa, the team announced Saturday.
Ross will be away a minimum of three games and maximum of seven days after his grandmother passed away. There was no return date for Ross listed at the time. He started yesterday's game behind the plate to catch starter Jon Lester.
The move leaves the Cubs with two catchers -- rookie Kyle Schwarber and Miguel Montero, who was activated from the disabled list on Friday.
