He won’t officially be added to the roster for tonight’s game – he just pitched last night, and the Cubs won’t activate him until he’s good to pitch that day – but Craig Kimbrel is on his way from Iowa to join the Cubs. Odds are good he’s active and in the bullpen for tomorrow’s series finale against the Braves. (EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!)
Maddon on Kimbrel: “He’s on his way right now. We’ll be more precise later. Yes, it’s getting close. We’ll wrap it up and give you everything soon.” #Cubs
