Kelvin Herrera: Cut loose by Cubs

Herrera was released by the Cubs on Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Herrera signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs earlier in the month but was let go before making it to the majors. The veteran right-hander owns an unsightly 6.54 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 53.2 innings over the past two seasons.
