Jack Leathersich: Signs minor league contract

Leathersich signed a minor league contract with the Cubs on Wednesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

Leathersich was non-tendered in December and is still recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the Cubs saw enough out of his progress to snap him back up. His return to the mound should come in August if all goes to plan and the southpaw could be a nice piece to help fill out the Cubs' organizational depth.
