CHICAGO CUBS NEWS

Kyle Hendricks - Throws bullpen Friday Manager David Ross said that Hendricks has been "dealing with some stuff" but threw a bullpen session Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hendricks hasn't started since June 1, and the team has apparently given him extra rest due to an apparent injury. However, Ross didn't sound too concerned about Hendricks' injury and said that the right-hander will "pitch in the near future." While the 32-year-old isn't starting Friday or Saturday against the Yankees, he'll likely be in the mix to start during Sunday's series finale or sometime next week against the Padres.

Yan Gomes - Back from injured list Gomes (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Gomes has been out just over two weeks with a strained left oblique, and he'll rejoin the big-league roster without the need for a minor-league rehab assignment. The 34-year-old has a .651 OPS in 24 games this season and should reclaim No. 2 catching duties behind starter Willson Contreras.

Chris Martin - Returns from restricted list Martin (personal) was activated from the restricted list Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander landed on the bereavement list in late May and shifted to the restricted list a week later, but he's back with the Cubs ahead of Friday's series opener against the Yankees. Martin has appeared in 18 games out of the bullpen this year and has a 3.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings.

Clint Frazier - DFA'd by Chicago Frazier was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Frazier missed more than a month due to appendicitis and appeared in nine games after rejoining the active roster in late May, and he went 5-for-16 with a double, five walks, an RBI and a run. Overall he's appeared in only 19 contests this season, and he's now lost his spot on Chicago's 40-man roster.

Marcus Stroman - Out with shoulder inflammation Stroman was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports. The move is retroactive to June 7.

Impact Stroman wasn't listed among Chicago's probable starters for this weekend despite having Wednesday's start rained out, and the shoulder injury explains his absence. The right-hander apparently had the issue crop up while throwing in the bullpen during the rain delay, and he'll now be unavailable for the next two weeks. Wade Miley (shoulder) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will slide into Stroman's spot in the rotation.

Wade Miley - Reinstated for Friday's start Miley (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Yankees on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Miley was sidelined for nearly three weeks with a strained left shoulder, but he'll rejoin the rotation Friday without requiring a minor-league rehab assignment. Miley may face some workload restrictions since he hasn't seen game action since May 22.

Willson Contreras - Avoids arbitration with Cubs Contreras and the Cubs agreed to a one-year, $9.625 million contract for the 2022 season Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The two parties were slated to have an arbitration hearing Thursday, but Contreras landed a new deal shortly before the deadline. The 30-year-old has been productive early in the season, slashing .277/.403/.530 with 10 homers, 35 runs, 23 RBI and two stolen bases over 47 games. He's slated to become a free agent during the offseason but is a candidate to be traded by the rebuilding Cubs this summer if he doesn't reach a long-term agreement with the team.
