- Little was an expendable player after recent trades.

On Monday, the Chicago Cubs made a roster move, designating pitcher Little for assignment. This decision came after the team acquired Braxton Garrett, Tyrone Taylor, Clay Holmes, and Ryan Zeferjahn through trades.
Little, a 25-year-old left-handed pitcher, was not prioritized for a spot on the 40-man roster. He saw a brief stint in the major leagues in April but spent the majority of his season in the minor leagues.
During his time in the minors, Little played for both Triple-A Iowa and Double-A Knoxville. He accumulated a 5.03 earned run average and a 1.68 walks plus hits per inning pitched over 39.1 innings pitched.
