MILWAUKEE – The Cubs reinstated reliever Manuel Rodríguez from the 60-day injured list on Friday, at the end of a four-month-long rehab process for his strained right elbow. The Cubs will continue to monitor his build-up in the big-leagues.
“First of all, I want to show that I’m 100% healthy,” Rodríguez said Friday through team interpreter Will Nadal. “Once I do that, I just want to show that I belong, that I can be here with the team, that I can be out there whenever they need me, and that I can stick with the team and stay here for the rest of the season.
