CHICAGO - On the day he was reinstated from the disabled list, Matt Cain sounded as if he’s all in with his new role as long reliever.
Albert Suarez was chosen over Cain as the fifth starter and is pitching Friday at Wrigley Field.
“We’re worried about winning games. That’s the only thing we’re worried about,” Cain said. “I think I can help out in the bullpen, Suarez will go about his business on his day and we’ll try to find a way to get in the playoffs.”
Cain, 31, has made just three relief appearances in his 12-year career, two last year and one in 2012.
