Cubs recall RHP Spencer Patton from Triple-A Iowa … Designate LHP Brian Matusz for assignment
The Cubs made two roster moves Monday afternoon. The Cubs recalled RHP Spencer Patton from Triple-A Iowa. Patton will be available out of the bullpen for the opener of the three-game series with the Marlins.
LHP Brian Matusz was designated for assignment.
The Cubs’ 25-man roster consists of 13 pitchers (five starters, eight relievers) and 12 position players. By designating Brian Matusz, the Cubs opened a spot on the 40-man roster for the recently acquired RHP Joe Smith.
