    Iowa Cubs reporter Tommy Birch broke the news Tuesday that the Cubs are adding LHP Luke Little and RHP Ryan Rolison to their active roster. With Hunter Harvey (triceps) and Phil Maton (knee) on the shelf, and recently recalled Charlie Barnes unavailable due to pitching three innings of mop-up work, the Cubs' bullpen was in need of fresh arms. 

    The 6-8 LHP Little has struggled with command in Triple-A Iowa, currently sporting a 1.96 WHIP paired with a 4.70 ERA. He has struck out nine batters in seven innings on the mound, but 10 walks in that time frame seem to indicate that he's slated for mop-up duty in Chicago.

     

    Rolison has a slightly lower 3.68 ERA, but a higher WHIP at 2.00. Walks are his bugaboo; he has six walks in just seven innings pitched. Rolison does have ten strikeouts, so maybe he can corral his electric stuff in Chicago.

    Barnes is obviously one of the corresponding moves.  I'm curious who else is going down.  Roberts?  Assad?  An injury?

    My guess is Assad. He can’t be used for several days so why not get a fresh arm. They can do another bullpen day or Brown can start if they need a starter before Boyd comes back. 
    UPDATE: Roberts to Il.

    We need another starter, not just relievers, and someone who can hit now. Call up Jaxon Wiggins and Kevin Alcantara from Iowa asap!

    Theyre being extra cautious with Wiggins. He is not coming up to pitch in the MLB. Im a little surprised they didnt call up Hollowell. I hate adding walk machines.

     

    Edit: didnt look at Hollowell's walk rate lol

    Wiggins has what Hoyer called a sore arm so we have no idea what's really wrong and he's not ready yet anyway.
