Cubs roster move: Gavin Hollowell recalled, Corbin Martin DFA

To make room for Hollowell on the 26-man active roster, right-hander Corbin Martin was designated for assignment. Martin had made four pretty good appearances for the Cubs, including posting a save against the Dodgers, then he walked the only three batters he faced a week ago in San Diego. One of those batters scored. Fortunately, the Cubs won the game. Then he had a rough inning Sunday against the Diamondbacks and another one Wednesday night against the Reds.. He will likely clear waivers and the Cubs can send him back to Iowa… if they so choose.
This move opens a spot on the Cubs’ 40-man roster, so feel free to speculate.
