Cubs Recall Daniel Palencia, Option Trey Wingenter
Not super consequential, so we’ll opt for the media release here.
The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Daniel Palencia from Triple-A Iowa and optioned right-handed pitcher Trey Wingenter to Iowa.
Palencia, 24, is 0-1 with a 7.11 ERA (10 ER/12.2 IP) in nine appearances with the Cubs this season. He earned his first career save on April 7 against the Dodgers in a 3.0-innings outing in which he allowed one run on one hit with two walks and two strikeouts. In 32 games (one start) with Triple-A Iowa, he is 2-1 with three saves, a 4.97 ERA (21 ER/38.0 IP) and 66 strikeouts. He has made four-straight scoreless appearances (4.1 IP) with the I-Cubs since Sept. 5.
