The Cubs acquired lefthander Tom Cosgrove from the Padres about two weeks ago.
Cosgrove had a pretty good year for San Diego in 2023, but last year he was awful. He’s pitched in three games for Triple-A Iowa, covering four innings, allowing three hits and a walk with seven strikeouts, and no runs.
Sunday afternoon, the Cubs recalled Cosgrove and optioned righthander Ethan Roberts to Iowa.
