Summary
- David Peterson traded to Cubs after 10 years with Mets.
- Cubs acquire Peterson to fill rotation spot due to injuries.
- Peterson seeks bounce-back season with Chicago's defense.
David Peterson has joined the Chicago Cubs, marking a significant career change after spending 10 years with the New York Mets. He was officially added to the active roster, filling the spot of an injured reliever.
The Cubs acquired Peterson to address their extensive injury concerns within the starting rotation. Numerous pitchers are currently on the injured list, creating an opportunity for Peterson to revitalize his season.
Peterson, who previously earned All-Star recognition, has struggled in the current year after a strong performance last season. The Cubs hope a change of scenery and the team's top-ranked defense will help him regain his previous form.
In related news, reliever Phil Maton has been placed on the injured list again due to knee tendinitis. Manager Craig Counsell expressed hope that this break, potentially including the All-Star break, will allow Maton to fully recover for the second half of the season.
