The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was technically up as the 27th man for what was supposed to be a doubleheader Monday versus the Brewers, though the second game got rained out. Hollowell was roughed up for four runs over two innings in the first game Monday and is now headed back to Iowa.

Hollowell allowed four runs on three hits and four walks across two innings of relief in a 7-0 loss to the Brewers in the first game of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Hollowell simply couldn't find the strike zone consistently, as he threw just 21 of his 45 pitches for strikes. The righty also uncorked a wild pitch in the rough outing as the Cubs let him take one on the chin to save bullpen arms for the second game Monday. Hollowell was called up to the majors earlier in the day to serve as the team's 27th man, and after the poor performance, he'll likely return to Triple-A Iowa in the near future.

Chicago placed ace Shota Imanaga (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but Hollowell won't be a candidate to replace him in the rotation and will instead slot into a low-leverage role in the bullpen.
