The Cubs announced Monday the team acquired LHP Giovanny Soto from the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations.
The Cubs optioned Giovanni Soto to Triple-A Iowa. And to make room for Soto on the 40-man roster, C/OF Kyle Schwarber was transferred to the 60-day DL.
With Monday’s roster moves, the Cubs 40-man roster stands at 40 players with two players on the 60-day DL.
Giovanni Soto, 24, made his Major League debut with the Indians last season and turned in six scoreless relief appearances, covering 3.1 innings pitched.
