Cubs' Brandon Hughes: Back in big leagues

Hughes' contract was selected by the Cubs on Monday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Hughes spent 11 days on the roster as a replacement player while the Cubs had players on the COVID-19 injured list, but he was removed from the roster Saturday. He's back again just two days later as a regular member of the roster, and the spot seems deserved given that he recorded a 2.57 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB in his seven innings of work earlier in the month.
