Derek Holland was acquired by the Cubs Friday for cash considerations. (Someday I hope there’s a MLB player actually named “Cash Considerations.”)
Today, he’s being added to the active roster:
Daniel Descalso has been placed on the 10-day injured list to make room for Holland on the active roster. Descalso hasn’t hit well this season and some of the bad hitting, according to Jesse Rogers’ tweet, could be related to the ankle injury he suffered in early May, although it strains credulity to some extent to think that ankle is still “sprained,” given that Descalso has barely played at all this month and just twice in the field.
