ANAHEIM, Calif. – Cubs reliever Michael Rucker walked into the clubhouse and was greeted with hugs and handshakes by one teammate after another.
The Cubs recalled him from Triple-A Iowa and put first baseman Edwin Ríos on the 10-day injured list with a strained left groin before the Cubs’ game against the Angels on Wednesday.
The Cubs optioned Rucker last week to bring up right-hander Hayden Wesneski. At the time, Wesneski joined the bullpen.
