Rosscup was announced as a non-roster invitee to major league spring training with the Cubs on Friday, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was initially non-tendered by the Cubs early in the offseason, but Rosscup is back with the organization and will report to big league camp. Health was Rosscup's primary issue in 2016 as he encountered a shoulder issue in May that kept him out for the remainder of the season. The Cubs are short on proven left-handed options in the bullpen, which helps Rosscup's chances, but he's still a long shot overall to break camp as a member of the 25-man roster.

Rosscup was non-tendered by the Cubs on Friday and is now a free agent, the Chicago Tribune's Mark Gonzales reports.

EDGE Analysis

He needed shoulder surgery in mid May and never returned to the mound for the Cubs in 2016. His career 5.40 ERA is unsightly, but his 26.6 percent strikeout rate is somewhat intriguing. Another team could sign the 28-year-old southpaw to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training, giving him a chance to show he is healthy.

Rosscup (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day DL on Monday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoulder surgery in mid May was supposed to only cost Rosscup three months, but he never made enough progress in his recovery to return to the big league bullpen. He will look to compete for a spot in the bullpen during spring training.

Rosscup (shoulder) will be shut down for three months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Friday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander had been on the 60-day disabled list since February due to shoulder issues, but Rosscup's recent procedure ensures that he'll be on the shelf for the majority of the 2016 season. He underwent a debridement procedure in his pitching shoulder according to Muskat, who further notes that Rosscup won't be allowed to pick up a baseball until mid-August at the earliest. Given that timetable, it's possible that Rosscup won't be able for game action until very late in the season, if at all.

Rosscup (left shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Dexter Fowler, who will unexpectedly be back with the Cubs. Even if he were healthy, Rosscup would likely just be competing for one of the final spots in the bullpen.

Rosscup was recalled by the Cubs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Rosscup has already made 27 appearances for the Cubs this season and should factor right back into the bullpen rotation immediately. During his previous 23.7 innings with Chicago, the lefty amassed a poor ERA of 4.18 but still managed to strike out 25 batters.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Zac Rosscup was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, according to MLB.com. Rosscup has struck out 25 batters over 11.2 innings in the minor leagues this year, but has also allowed seven earned runs in that span. He will return to a low-leverage bullpen role in the majors, where he has a 4.30 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB over 23 innings.

Rosscup (shoulder) has begun throwing live batting practice, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. It's typically the final hurdle a player must clear before heading out for a rehab assignment, though the Cubs have not yet made any announcements in that regard. Rosscup held lefties to a .111/.273/.111 batting line before hitting the DL -- albeit in a small sample -- and figures to get another opportunity in a specialist role once healthy.

Zac Rosscup (shoulder) will move his rehab to Arizona on Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports. Rosscup, who hit the DL last week, will head to the team's facility to continue his rehab. The details of the assignment aren't known at this time, and it remains unclear whether Rosscup will necessitate more than the minimum 15 days on the disabled list.

Rosscup (shoulder) has been placed on the disabled list. As expected, Rosscup will head to the DL after departing Tuesday's game with stiffness in his throwing shoulder. It's still unclear whether he's dealing with an injury that could keep him out beyond the mandatory 15 days, but an update should be forthcoming. To fill Rosscup's roster spot, the Cubs called up Yoervis Medina from Triple-A Iowa.
