Keegan Thompson to IL with Viral Illness, Luke Little Recalled

Stop me if you’ve heard this, but the Cubs have placed yet another pitcher on the IL. At least it’s not actually an injury this time with Keegan Thompson going on the shelf due to a viral illness. They say he’s the 15th Cub to hit the IL this season, but I think the number has to be at least three times that.

Luke Little has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa to take Thompson’s spot in the bullpen. I just don’t have the energy to go through the stats for each pitcher at this point, but I know it’s good to have a fresh arm up there.
