SEATTLE – The Cubs are recalling reliever Keegan Thompson on Friday, manager Craig Counsell said on 670 The Score.

The team optioned reliever José Cuas to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, according to the transaction page. Cuas has allowed eight runs over the course of five appearances this year. His worst outing came against the Padres on Monday, when he was charged with four runs in u2153 of an inning.

“Every year, bullpens and figuring out what’s going on with them is a little bit of a process,” Counsell said on the Parkins & Spiegel Show.
