The Cubs are enhancing their bullpen with the addition of left-handers Luke Little and Ryan Rolison, both called up from Triple-A Iowa, as they prepare to face the lefty-heavy Phillies. Little has a strong 2.80 ERA in his MLB career but struggles with control, while Rolison, a former Rockies prospect, has shown improvement with a 3.68 ERA in Iowa this season. To make room, Charlie Barnes was optioned to Triple-A and Ethan Roberts was placed on the 15-day IL with an injury. This brings the Cubs’ left-handed relievers to four, complementing Hoby Milner and Caleb Thielbar as they approach a busy week ahead.
