Cubs send Wesneski to Iowa, call up two relievers, including Downers Grove native Burdi. McGrawDHSports Cubs
The Cubs made a cluster of moves before Monday's series opener in Houston. Most notable was starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski being sent to Triple A Iowa.
To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, pitcher Adrian Sampson was switched to the 60-day injured list. There was already a possibility of Wesneski being moved down to create a rotation spot for Kyle Hendricks, who has made four rehab starts for Iowa as he recovers from a left shoulder strain. Wesneski's spot in the rotation arrives again on Friday in Philadelphia.
