Cubs optioned LHP Luke Little to Triple-A Iowa.

That was fast. Little lasted just a day with the Cubs in a year where he’s been up-and-down from the minors a time or two. The 6-foot-8 lefty is sent down to make room for Tom Cosgrove.

Cubs recalled LHP Luke Little from Triple-A Iowa.

Little made 30 appearances with a 3.46 ERA for the Cubs last season, but he’s barely been needed this year, pitching just once in April. It probably didn’t help that he walked four in two-thirds of an inning in that game. Still, he had a 2.77 ERA in 48 2/3 innings for Iowa. He gives the Cubs a fourth left-hander in the pen as they combat the Brewers in five games over the next four days.

Cubs optioned LHP Luke Little to Triple-A Iowa.

Little walked four of the six batters he faced in his one appearance for the Cubs, though he wasn’t as wild as that suggests. With a 2.97 ERA in 33 1/3 major league innings to date, he probably won’t have to wait too long for another look.

Little, 24, missed the end of 2024 because of a left shoulder strain he suffered in July. The southpaw could be an option in the middle innings for Chicago at some point this summer.

Cubs transferred LHP Luke Little from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

Little hasn’t been officially ruled out for the rest of the season, but it’s viewed as a long shot that he’ll make it back from his lat strain in time. The move to the 60-day IL does officially put him out of action until Sept. 9.

Cubs placed LHP Luke Little on the 15-day injured list with a left shoulder strain.

Little is going to wind up missing at least a couple weeks after suffering a shoulder injury on Friday during a relief outing against the Cardinals. The 23-year-old lefty has been solid in middle relief this season for Chicago with a serviceable 3.46 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 28/18 K/BB ratio across 26 innings (30 appearances, one start).
