Ahead of an attempt to play a doubleheader for the second consecutive day, the Chicago Cubs recalled left-hander Tom Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday and optioned left-hander Luke Little to Triple-A.
In addition, right-hander Gavin Hollowell was optioned to Iowa.
Hollowell, 27, was added as the 27th member of the roster for Monday’s doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers that was reduced to one game because of inclement weather. He allowed four runs over two innings in a 7-0 loss to the Brewers in the one game that was played.
Little, 24, was recalled Monday and also pitched two innings, while allowing one unearned run. In two appearances with the Cubs this season, Little has a 3.38 ERA in 2 2/3 innings.
Cosgrove, 29, has a 2.25 ERA in two relief appearances with the Cubs this season.
The Cubs and Brewers will be allowed to add a 27th member to their rosters in advance of Game 2 on Tuesday.
