Roster Move: Cubs reliever Edwin Uceta clears waivers, outrighted to Triple-A Iowa |
Good news for the Cubs.
Chicago Cubs reliever Edwin Uceta has cleared waived and has been outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday. Uceta was recently claimed by the Cubs from the Mets, and now he is off the 40-man roster but still able to add organizational depth. Uceta has only pitched 8 2/3 innings in the minors this season. Overall in the minors, he has 84 1/3 triple-A innings with a 29% strikeout rate. The 40-man roster might need some room soon (3 empty spots currently) as standouts Jordan Wicks and Pete-Crow Armstrong might be September call-ups for a late-season playoff push for the big league ballclub. Today’s @IowaCubs transactions:
-RHP Danis Correa released.
-RHP Edwin Uceta placed on the development list.
-LHP Bailey Horn activated from temporarily inactive list.
-LHP Stephen Gonsalves activated from development list.
