The Cubs announced that they designated left-hander Jeff Beliveau for assignment. The move creates roster space for Ian Stewart, whose one-year deal became official today.
Beliveau, 25, made his MLB debut this past season, appearing in 22 games. He posted a 4.58 ERA with 8.7 K/9 and 6.1 BB/9 in 17 2/3 innings. The Cubs originally selected Beliveau in the 18th round of the 2008 draft.
