Adam was non-tendered by the Cubs on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam had a brief stint in the majors during 2021 and had a 19:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings while giving up seven earned runs. He'll look to latch on elsewhere for 2022.

Adam was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam was called up as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he made his first major-league appearance since May 9. He struck out three in a perfect relief inning and will provide an extra arm in the Cubs' bullpen late in the season.

The Cubs selected Adam's contract from Triple-A Iowa and added him as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam has managed a 1.80 ERA in five minor-league innings this month, but his 8.22 mark with the Cubs earlier this season suggests he'll likely be limited to low-leverage relief work, if anything, during Friday's doubleheader.

Adam (ankle) re-signed Monday with the Cubs on a minor-league contract.

EDGE Analysis

Adam posted an 8.22 ERA and 1.96 WHIP across nine appearances out of the big-league bullpen earlier this season before he was designated for assignment in late May. The roster move came shortly after Adam sustained an ankle injury that required surgery, and the Cubs ultimately released him once he cleared waivers. Nearly six weeks after being cut loose, Adam is back with the Cubs, signaling that the organization is comfortable with where he stands on the health front. The veteran right-hander will report to the Cubs' Arizona Complex League affiliate as he looks to build up following the long layoff, but he's expected to eventually settle at Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs designated Adam (ankle) for assignment Tuesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes three days after Adam underwent left ankle surgery. Adam figures to clear waivers, considering the injury and his struggles at the big-league level this season. The Cubs needed to remove him from the 40-man roster to make room for Patrick Wisdom, whom they recalled Tuesday for added infield depth.

Adam underwent surgery to repair a dislocated left ankle Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Recovery from the procedure will likely keep Adam out for an extended period, though the Cubs didn't specify exactly how long they expect him to be out. He's made nine appearances at the big-league level this season, struggling to an 8.22 ERA and 1.96 WHIP, but was pitcher for Triple-A Iowa when he suffered the injury.

Adam was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam's latest stint on the big-league roster lasted a week. He made just a single relief appearance, striking out three while allowing two hits in a scoreless inning against the Pirates. Jake Arrieta (thumb) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Adam was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old was optioned to the alternate site last week but will rejoin the Cubs ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Pirates. Adam has surrendered seven runs on seven hits with a 10:6 K:BB across 6.2 innings out of the bullpen this season.

Adam was optioned to the Cubs' alternate training site Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Adam was roughed up in his relief appearance in Sunday's loss to the Brewers, as he allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while failing to record an out. As a result, he'll be sent to the team's alternate camp for the time being. Right-hander Trevor Megill's contract was selected by the Cubs as part of a shuffle after Jonathan Holder (shoulder) and Rowan Wick (oblique) were transferred to the 60-day injured list.

The Cubs reinstated Adam from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam was able to clear MLB's health and safety protocols in two days after first landing on the COVID-19 IL on Monday. The Cubs optioned reliever Brad Wieck to their alternate site to open up a spot on the active roster for Adam.
