Cubs to call up Duane Underwood to make MLB debut on Monday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Duane Underwood will be called up from Triple-A on Monday to make his MLB debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Underwood will fill in for Mike Montgomery who had his start moved up a day, to Sunday, with Tyler Chatwood going on paternity leave. The 23-year-old pitcher is expected to be up in the big leagues just for one start.

Our models project Underwood for 5 1/3 innings pitched with 2.7 runs allowed and 4.4 strikeouts totaling 24.3 FanDuel points.
