Chicago Cubs place yet another pitcher on 15-day IL, DFA another
The Chicago Cubs saw their 11-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday night when they fell 12-4 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. While it was disappointing to see the streak end, the Cubs climbed out of last place in the National League Central Division and currently sit in second.
Now 17-10, the Cubs are in a good position to remain competitive in the NL Central. However, if they are to do so, they must continue to overcome the concerning number of injuries their pitching staff has already suffered.
The Chicago Cubs place Riley Martin on the IL, DFA Vince Velasquez
Right before their series finale against the Dodgers on Sunday, the Cubs announced a flurry of roster moves:
#Cubs Roster Moves:
– Riley Martin goes on the 15-day IL (retro 4/24) with left elbow inflammation
– Charlie Barnes recalled from Triple-A
– Yacksel Rios contract selected
– Vince Velasquez DFA’d— Taylor McGregor (@Taylor_McGregor) April 26, 2026
Riley Martin, unfortunately, is going on the injured list with left elbow inflammation. He has appeared in eight games (one start) and has a 2.16 ERA and 0.84 WHIP.
Additionally, Chicago has designated Vince Velasquez for assignment. He only appeared in one game and did not allow a run in 2.1 innings of work.
Charlie Barnes, a left-handed pitcher, has been recalled from Triple-A. He appeared in one game for the Cubs already this year, and gave up four runs in 3.0 innings. He has a 3.24 ERA in five games down in Iowa.
Yacksel Rios is going to be making his Cubs debut and first Major League appearance since 2023 now that he is heading up to Chicago. In 92 career games, he has a 6.32 ERA.
He has a 5.06 ERA in seven games down at Triple-A so far this season.
