The Cubs traded away three players since they last played Sunday in San Francisco:
Scott Effross
David Robertson
Mychal Givens
Today, the team reinstated infielder Nick Madrigal from the 10-day injured list and recalled right-handed pitchers Michael Rucker and Anderson Espinoza from Triple-A Iowa. Additionally, left-handed pitcher Steven Brault has been placed on the COVID-19 related injured list.
By my count, that leaves the Cubs unbalanced on the 26-man roster — they’ve got 12 pitchers active with those moves, and 14 position players. They’re supposed to have 13 of each, per the new CBA.
