Chicago Cubs pitching roster changes

Overview

The Chicago Cubs have activated right-hander Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list. To facilitate this move, the team placed Trent Thornton on the 15-day IL due to left ankle soreness.

Manager Craig Counsell stated that Cabrera will transition to a relief role for the remainder of the season and the postseason. This change follows a season of health issues for Cabrera, including finger blisters and a hamstring strain. The team intends to utilize his velocity in the bullpen to provide depth for their postseason push.
