Cubs Activate OF Matt Szczur from 15-Day DL, Designate RHP Neil Ramirez for Assignment
The Cubs made two roster moves Saturday. OF Matt Szczur was activated from the 15-day DL. To make room on the 25-man roster for Szczur, RHP Neil Ramirez was designated for assignment.
Jason Heyward will likely miss three-five days with a contusion on his right side. Heyward will not be placed on the disabled list.
The Cubs will have a 12-man pitching staff (five starters, seven relievers) and 13 position players on the 25-man roster for a while. Joe Maddon has been hinting at this switch for a couple of weeks.
