Adam Warren making spot start for Cubs on Tuesday or Wednesday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Adam Warren is expected to join the rotation as a spot starter Tuesday or Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

This move is provoked by manager Joe Maddon's desire to give each of his starters an additional day of rest prior to the All-Star break. Warren is starting Thursday night in Triple-A Iowa after being sent down to the minors last week.

Warren owns a 4.56 ERA and 16.22 strikeout percentage in 25 2/3 innings of relief for the Cubs this season.
