Cubs Cut Seven Players from Spring Roster, Option Vogelbach, Acevedo, Jokisch to Triple-A

March 14, 2016 12:00 pm By Neil 4 Comments

The Cubs announced the second round of spring roster cuts on Monday. The Cubs cut seven players from the Spring Training roster, which officially stands at 56 players.

The Cubs optioned 1B Dan Vogelbach, RHP Andury Acevedo and LHP Eric Jokish to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs re-assigned non-roster invitees RHP Duane Underwood Jr., RHP Armando Rivero, LHP Jack Leathersich and RHP Jonathan Pettibone to minor league camp.

The moves the Cubs made Monday were expected.

Jack Leathersich and Jonathan Pettibone are rehabbing injuries and will start the minor league season on the disabled list. Leathersich and Pettibone have participated in drills but did not appear in any Cactus League games.

Andury Acevedo and Eric Jokisch pitched in Cactus League games with mixed results.

Acevedo allowed five runs on two hits with three walks and a strikeout in 2 1/3 innings. Jokisch made two relief appearances and allowed two runs on three hits without a walk and a strikeout.

Duane Underwood Jr. did not appear in a Cactus League game. He has been slowed this spring with allergies. Joe Maddon said Monday that Underwood Jr. has also dealt with some stiffness in his right elbow.

Dan Vogelbach was 3-for-14 with a double and a home run in six games (.214/.353/.500/.853).
