"They also announced the acquisition of Aaron Civale on waivers from the White Sox, with Tom Cosgrove designated for assignment, and there were multiple reports the team had signed Carlos Santana as a free agent. Neither Civale nor Santana was added to the active roster Sunday, but both being in the organization by 11 a.m. CT today makes them postseason-eligible. Today, Sept. 1, team rosters can expand by two players, to 28."
"Civale and Santana are being added to the 28-man active roster effective with today's game. To make room for Santana on the 40-man roster, Ben Cowles was designated for assignment. One further move was announced for Monday: outfielder Kevin Alcántara was recalled from Triple-A Iowa and outfielder Owen Caissie was optioned to Iowa. Caissie hit .208/.240/.375 (5-for-24) in 11 games in his first taste of Major League Baseball, including a home run."
The Cubs replaced Porter Hodge with Jordan Wicks in the bullpen. The club acquired Aaron Civale on waivers from the White Sox and reportedly signed Carlos Santana as a free agent, with Tom Cosgrove designated for assignment and Ben Cowles later designated to clear a 40-man spot. Civale and Santana became postseason-eligible and were added to the 28-man active roster when rosters expanded on Sept. 1. Pitcher limits increased to 14. Kevin Alcántara was recalled and Owen Caissie optioned; Caissie hit .208/.240/.375 (5-for-24) with one homer. Civale will provide long relief and Santana will be used as an occasional DH or first baseman.
