Cubs roster move: Matt Dermody recalled from South Bend

About two weeks ago, BCB’s Tim Huwe suggested that the Cubs should try lefthander Matt Dermody in the bullpen.

Dermody pitched briefly for the Blue Jays (28 appearances) in 2016 and 2017, then missed some time with Tommy John surgery. He was lights-out in five appearances this year for the indy league Sugar Land Skeeters, throwing 17u2153 innings with a 0.
