The Cubs faced roster challenges after Caleb Thielbar was placed on the 15-day IL due to a hamstring strain. To accommodate this, they designated Scott Kingery for assignment and selected Vince Velasquez's contract. Velasquez, who had a poor season in Korea, is expected to serve as a stopgap reliever. Luke Little was sent back to Iowa, and Jordan Wicks is nearing a return. The team is focused on finding available pitchers to fill the gaps in their bullpen.
