Before the start of today’s game in the Cubs’ series against Milwaukee, the team added LHP Derek Holland to the active roster after he was acquired yesterday from the San Francisco Giants. In order to add Holland to the roster, the Cubs sent second baseman Daniel Descalso to the 10-Day IL.

The #Cubs today placed INF Daniel Descalso on the 10-day IL (retroactive to July 24) with a left ankle sprain.

Don’t be surprised if Holland pitches tonight in a critical moment against one of Milwaukee’s left-handed hitters as he is fantastic vs. left-handed hitting. I can think of one player specifically he may be an asset against… *cough* Christian Yelich.

First pitch for tonight’s game is at 6:10pm CST. Jon Lester is on the mound to face Chase Anderson this evening.
