The Chicago Cubs recall left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz from Triple-A Iowa for a second stint with the club. Multiple reports say the move is made ahead of Friday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals, with Chicago selecting Pomeranz from Triple-A to join the active roster. In a corresponding transaction, the Cubs optioned left-hander Jordan Wicks to Triple-A Iowa. One report also notes that Pomeranz previously joined the Cubs last season after the team purchased his contract from Seattle in late April, marking his return to Chicago’s organization for another major-league opportunity. The reports present the transaction as a roster adjustment involving two left-handed pitchers—adding Pomeranz to the Cubs’ bullpen/rotation mix and sending Wicks back to the minors. Overall, the coverage aligns on the key elements of the roster move: Pomeranz is recalled from Triple-A, Wicks is optioned, and the timing is tied to the Cubs’ matchup with the Cardinals.
