The Cubs’ bullpen has had... troubles this year. This, you know.
Today, the Cubs added a new righthanded reliever to the mix. They selected the contract of Hunter Bigge from Triple-A Iowa and added him to the 26-man active roster. To make room on the 26- and 40-man rosters for Bigge, Colten Brewer was placed on the 60-day IL:

Bigge was the Cubs’ 12th-round pick out of Harvard University in 2019.
