Adrian Sampson Will Start Wednesday For Cubs
3 years agoThe Chicago Cubs will call up starting pitcher Adrian Sampson from Triple-A Iowa to start on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Sampson, 29, last pitched in the big leagues in 2019 for the Texas Rangers and went 6-8 with 5.89 ERA in 35 games (15 starts). Sampson will take the spot of recently released starting pitcher Jake Arrieta, but it's unclear if this will be a one-time deal or if he will remain in the rotation. Sampson is 4-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 16 games (14 starts) for Triple-A Iowa and can be avoided in all formats.
