Overview

• Aaron Civale was claimed off waivers from the White Sox and added to the Cubs’ active roster on Sept. 1 after Chicago designated left-hander Tom Cosgrove for assignment to clear a 40-man spot.
• The right-hander immediately made his first career relief appearance, striking out four over three scoreless innings in the Cubs’ extra-inning win over Atlanta.
• Manager Craig Counsell indicated Civale will work as a long reliever, providing innings for a staff that has leaned heavily on its bullpen in recent weeks.
• The White Sox filled Civale’s roster spot by selecting right-hander Bryse Wilson from Triple-A Charlotte; Civale had gone 2-7 with a 5.37 ERA in 13 starts for Chicago’s South Side club.
• The Cubs also added Carlos Santana to the roster and designated Ben Cowles for assignment, while recalling Kevin Alcántara from Triple-A Iowa and optioning Owen Caissie.
