These Cubs roster moves were actually announced Thursday, September 1, which is the day MLB team rosters could be expanded from 26 to 28 players, but I was on the road back to Chicago from Toronto, so I didn’t have a chance to weigh in on them here.
These are the official roster moves. I’ll follow with some thoughts about how the 31 games remaining for the Cubs could look.
- Adrian Sampson and Justin Steele were reinstated from the restricted list.
- Jeremiah Estrada and Brendon Little, who replaced Sampson and Steele on the active roster in Toronto, were returned to Triple-A Iowa.
