The Cubs claimed right-handed pitcher Frankie De La Cruz from the Brewers today and added him to the 40-man roster where he will be competing for a spot in the bullpen. The Brewers were hoping that De La Cruz would clear waivers and start at Triple-A Nashville.
David DeJesus defeated Casey Coleman to win the Cubs' first bunting tournament, held today on a back field at HoHoKam Park. DeJesus beat Wellington Castillo in the semifinals and Coleman beat Paul Maholm to advance. Apparently, the players were treated to lunch on the back field.
