Cubs Designate Jake Woodford for Assignment Amid Roster Changes
The Chicago Cubs have made roster adjustments by designating right-hander Jake Woodford for assignment following the activation of trade acquisitions Tyrone Taylor and Ryan Zeferjahn.
Woodford, who is out of options, has been designated for assignment each time he is removed from the active roster. He had a brief stint in the majors, pitching a scoreless inning in a recent game against the Dodgers. This season, he has a 7.18 ERA over 26 1/3 innings across 18 appearances with the Cubs and Brewers.
Zeferjahn was acquired from the Angels in exchange for catcher Moisés Ballesteros and a pitching prospect, while Taylor, obtained from the Mets, will take over as the right-handed fifth outfielder. Taylor is set to make his debut in tonight's game.
