Cubs promoting 34-year-old right-hander Shane Greene

The Chicago Cubs are promoting veteran righty Shane Greene from Triple-A Iowa, sources tell ESPN.

Greene, 34, will be added to the team as rosters expand to 28 for September. He's been working as a starter in the minors and could be on the mound for one of the team's doubleheader games against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.

Greene appeared in three games last season, two for the Dodgers and one for the Yankees before signing with the Cubs in late June.

He has a career 4.53 ERA over nine big league seasons, mostly playing for the Detroit Tigers where he was their closer in 2018 and 2019 before being traded to the Atlanta Braves.
