The Cubs promoted lefty reliever Jayson Ruhlman to Iowa on Saturday. Drafted in 2006 out of Central Michigan, Ruhlman got off to a fast start in Boise. As he's moved up (one year at Low-A and High-A) his numbers have dipped a little.
It took just 6.3 innings in Double-A for Ruhlman to get the call to Iowa. Ruhlman joined fellow lefties J.R. Mathes and Jason Waddell in the I-Cubs bullpen and got into action right away, giving up one hit while striking out one batter in just a third of an inning.
None of the Iowa lefties are on the Cubs 40-man roster at this time, but there are a few open slots in case Lou finally throws in the towel on Neal Cotts.
