Today, the Chicago Cubs activated outfielder Chris Coghlan and right-hander Joe Smith from the 15-day DL. The Cubs also selected the contract of right-hander Jake Buchanan. All three players will be available for tonight’s game. All reported by CBS Sports.
Coghlan has had an up and down year this season with the Cubs and Athletics. Brought back in June after being traded in the offseason, Coghlan had two great years in Chicago but struggled mightily with Oakland. He compiled a .146/.215/.272 slash line hitting five home runs and driving in 14.
