The Chicago Cubs are calling up a red-hot reliever to their MLB squad.
Roberts was a fourth-round selection in the 2018 MLB draft and has been in the Cubs farm system ever since.
That stint did not go the way anyone wanted, resulting in an ERA ballooned up to 8.22 in 7.2 innings of work across nine appearances. If the poor play wasn't enough, he would undergo Tommy John surgery in June that would end his campaign and keep him out through all of 2023 as well.He quickly worked his way back up to the Triple-A, spending one game each in rookie ball and Double-A.
If he goes unclaimed through the waivers, which is likely, he will return to Triple-A as he tries to refine his game for another chance in the Majors.
