The Cubs announced several roster moves prior to Wednesday’s game against the Marlins.
The Cubs activated left-handed pitcher Mike Montgomery off of the 10-day injured list and recalled infielder Addison Russell from Triple-A Iowa. Right-handed pitcher Pedro Strop has been placed on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 7) with a left hamstring strain and infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist has been granted a leave of absence due to personal reasons (placed on the restricted list).
Both Montgomery and Russell will be available for the Cubs when they continue their four-game series against the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field.
