Cubs Activate Javier Assad and Miguel Amaya, Option Nate Pearson, DFA Jon Berti

Keeping it simple with just the press release, though I will note that the Cubs have announced Javier Assad will start Tuesday night in place of Ben Brown.

The Chicago Cubs today reinstated catcher Miguel Amaya and right-handed pitcher Javier Assad from the 60-day injured list. In corresponding moves, the Cubs optioned right-handed pitcher Nate Pearson to Triple-A Iowa and designated infielder Jon Berti for assignment. Chicago’s 40-man roster currently stands at 40 players.

Amaya, 26, has been on the injured list since May 25 with a left oblique strain.
