The Cubs made a series of roster moves before Tuesday’s game in San Diego, headlined by Matt Shaw being optioned to Triple-A Iowa as covered previously. Vidal Bruján was reinstated from the IL to fill the roster spot. Several other transactions took place on the pitching front.
As had been widely assumed, Eli Morgan has been placed on the injured list. Morgan allowed four runs in 0.2 innings Monday night, after which Craig Counsell revealed that the right-hander had been dealing with an elbow injury.
