New Cubs reliever José Cuas threw the last pitch of his bullpen session Wednesday morning and turned to pitching coach Tommy Hottovy, who nodded and gave him a fist bump. Cuas walked to the railing at the back of the bullpen mounds and perched on it as they talked.

“He’s very confident in what he can do,” Hottovy told the Sun-Times. “He’s confident in who he is. And when he’s out there, he’s aggressive, he’s got that aggressive mentality. And that’s something fun to pick up on right away. He’s not going to back down from any moment.
