The Chicago Cubs have announced a roster shakeup ahead of their upcoming game against the New York Mets. Pitcher Keegan Thompson is set to return from the paternity list, while Luke Little has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.
Thompson, 29, has made a significant impact since his recent recall to the Cubs on June 15. In his two appearances this season, he has showcased his talent with a 4.30 ERA across 11 games. With one save under his belt, Thompson has impressed with 23 strikeouts and just seven walks over 14.2 innings.
On the other hand, Luke Little, who has been a consistent presence in the Cubs’ bullpen this year, will now head to Triple-A Iowa. Little, with a 4.35 ERA over 23 games and one start, has shown promise with 20 strikeouts but has struggled with 17 walks in 20.2 innings, allowing only one home run.
After a tough 11-1 loss to the Mets, the Cubs are looking to bounce back in their next game. The team is gearing up to face the Mets with first pitch scheduled for 1:20 p.m. local time at Wrigley Field.
