Cubs Designate Jake Buchanan

By Jeff Todd | May 22, 2017 at 5:37pm CDT

The Cubs have designated righty Jake Buchanan, per a club announcement. His 40-man spot will go to lefty Zac Rosscup, whose contract was selected. In a corresponding move, right-hander Dylan Floro was optioned to Triple-A.

Buchanan, 27, has seen limited MLB action in each of the past three seasons. He landed in Chicago early last year after he was released by the Astros. Buchanan had been working at Triple-A to open the 2017 campaign, posting a 4.75 ERA with 6.3 K/9 against 4.1 BB/9 over 41 2/3 innings.

As for Rosscup, he’ll return to the majors for the first time since 2015. He spent all of 2016 rehabbing after shoulder surgery, but had shown well thus far at Triple-A. Through 15 2/3 innings over nine appearances, Rosscup owns a 3.45 ERA with an impressive combination of 25 strikeouts against just three walks.

    Rosscup was great for Cubs . Hope he returns where he left off.

      I always liked him, glad to see that he’s made it back and getting another shot over guys like Rollins, Parra, etc.

      You must have some pretty low standards if you consider his time with the Cubs as great.

        He puts up better stats than Brett Cecil and 7 million a year less

          Still doesn’t make him great (or even good, for that matter)

    The shuttle service between Chicago and Des Moines is in full swing, reminiscent of 2015 when Joe Maddon was in full micro-management mode with the Cubs pitching staff.

      Hey. Whatever works. He has the great coaching reputation and World Series ring for a reason.

      You’ve still not proven how your perceived micromanagement was detrimental to a team that won 97 and 103 games respectively.
