The Cubs have activated right-hander Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list and placed Trent Thornton on the same list due to a left ankle sprain. Cabrera, who has struggled with a 5.68 ERA this season, will transition to a relief role to bolster a pitching staff that has faced numerous injuries. Thornton, a surprising contributor with 48 appearances, will likely miss the rest of the regular season. The Cubs, currently three games ahead of the wild card line, hope Cabrera’s move to the bullpen will enhance his performance.
