The Chicago Cubs need bullpen help. With the starters failing to go deep into games, and a few extra inning games, the Cubs bullpen has been used a lot. Because of that, the Cubs were forced to used Hector Rondon to close yesterday, because Wade Davis pitched three days in a row.
With Brett Anderson on the mound today, the Cubs decided they needed even more bullpen help. Shortly before today’s game, the Cubs recalled left-handed reliever Rob Zastryzny from Triple-A Iowa. In a corresponding move, OF Matt Szczur was designated for assignment.
