As the Keegan Thompson suspension reduction news was being announced on Friday night, so was some Mark Leiter Jr. news:
Ross confirmed that Mark Leiter Jr. will start Saturday for the Cubs. The corresponding roster move remains TBA. Leiter isn’t on the 40-man roster.

What that means: The Cubs will have to juggle both the 28- and 40-man rosters before Saturday’s game. Who is leaving?
The Cubs’ 40-man roster is full. With Leiter added later on today, a 40-man spot will need to be cleared.
