The Cubs have announced they have added Seiya Suzuki to his paternity leave list. He has already left for Japan to attend the birth of his first child. On this day, the Cubs promoted Esteban Quiros from AAA class Iowa in a series of roster changes, and Advert Arzoray, who had been out of action since the start of the season due to a right shoulder injury, returned from the 60-day disabled list. Two players, Frank Schwindell and Sean Newcombe, became DFAs to make room on the roster.
