TransactionPhil Maton (knee) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Monday.
The Cubs made a couple of bullpen moves on Sunday afternoon, leading to speculation that Maton would be activated, but he’ll have to wait at least another day. With Daniel Palencia and Caleb Thielbar both shelved, the door is open for Maton to assume high-leverage work as long as he pitches well for the Cubs. He’s worth a look in deeper leagues for those speculating on saves.
