Cubs lefthander Josh Osich got hit pretty hard in Saturday’s loss to the Twins, and now they’ll do with one fewer lefthander, for a few days at least.
The team announced they had recalled Jose Martinez from the South Bend alternate site and optioned Osich back to South Bend. With fewer than 10 days remaining in the season and an optionee having to remain at the alternate site for at least 10 days, that probably ends Osich’s season with the Cubs.
Whether Martinez is any help or not remains to be seen.
