Davis rejoins Cubs following paternity leave

Closer Wade Davis has been activated from the paternity list by the Chicago Cubs.

Davis missed one game after being placed on the paternity leave list Monday. His wife gave birth to the couple's second child, a boy, on Monday.

The 31-year-old Davis is 2-0 with a microscopic 0.89 ERA and 12 saves in his first season with Chicago after he was acquired in an offseason trade with Kansas City.

To make room for Davis on the 25-man roster, Chicago optioned right-handed pitcher Dylan Floro to Triple-A Iowa.

Floro made two appearances with the Cubs last month, allowing six runs in 6 1/3 innings.
