The Cubs have placed reliever Chad Fox on the 15-day disabled list with ulnar neuritis in his right arm. Fox has had arm problems his whole major league career so this comes as no surprise. He has pitched in 3 games for the Cubs this season and he is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. The Cubs have recalled 23-year old, righty reliever Jose Ascanio from the minors to replace Fox both on the roster and in the bullpen. Ascanio has pitched in 17 games (0 starts) in AAA ball this season and he was 1-0 with 9 saves, a 2.08 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. In 21.2 innings this season, Ascanio has allowed only 14 hits while whiffing 23 batters in only 21.2 minor league innings. Ascanio has pitched in 13 games (0 starts) in his major league career and he is 1-1 with a 5.06 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP.
