Cubs' C.D. Pelham: Claimed by Cubs

Pelham was claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Wednesday.

The lefty made his debut as a 24-year-old last season, allowing six runs in 7.2 innings of work. His 7.04 ERA in the majors for the Rangers was his lowest at any level last season, as he posted a 12.05 mark in 21.2 innings for Double-A Frisco and an 11.81 ERA in 10.2 innings for Triple-A Nashville, walking more than a batter per inning at both stops.
