According to Baseball America, the Cubs signed right-handed pitcher Jensen Lewis to a minor league contract. The 28-year old, former third round pick of the Indians, spent last season at Triple-A Reno in the Diamondbacks organization. Lewis posted a 7-2 record in 52 games with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

Lewis last pitched in the big leagues in 2010 (4-2 in 37 games, all out of the pen, with a 2.97 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP).  The Indians released Lewis in June of 2011 and he signed a minor league contract with Arizona last November.
