The Cubs selected right-hander
Jose Rosario from Triple-A Iowa and claimed righty Conor Mullee off
waivers from the New York Yankees.
Rosario combined to go 2-1 with 14 saves and a 2.50 ERA for Single-A Myrtle Beach, Double-A Tennessee and Iowa after missing the 2015 season because of a right elbow injury. Mullee debuted with the Yankees this past season and made three appearances over two stints.
Chicago activated Mullee from the 60-day disabled list Monday along with right-hander Aaron Brooks, lefty Zac Rosscup and infielder Christian Villanueva. The Cubs also activated right-hander Dallas Beeler from the 60-day DL and outrighted him to Triple-A Iowa, and they outrighted Andury Acevedo and catcher Tim Federowicz to the minor league club.
Chicago's 40-man roster stands at 34 players.
The six remaining slots can be filled internally or through free agent/trade acquisitions.
