Cubs activate LHP Jon Lester from 10-day DL … Select contract of OF Leonys Martin and add to roster … DFA LHP Jack Leathersich
The Cubs activated left-handed pitcher Jon Lester off of disabled list prior to Saturday’s game versus the Braves and selected the contract of outfielder Leonys Martin from Triple-A Iowa. To make room for Martin on the 40-man roster, left-handed pitcher Jack Leathersich was designated for assignment.
Jon Lester returned to the mound and started Saturday. Lester had a rough outing against the Braves, lasting only five innings and giving up four runs on eight hits with a walk and four strikeouts.
