Cubs Reinstate Pagan, Cut Womack

[ThomasTomasz]

CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs recalled outfielder Angel Pagan from an injury rehabilitation assignment Friday and reinstated him from the 60-day disabled list.

To make room on the 40-man roster, they designated veteran infielder Tony Womack for assignment.

Pagan went on the DL on April 16 with a strained left hamstring. He played in nine games before the injury and was batting .263.

Womack appeared in 19 games for the Cubs, hitting .280 with a home run and two RBI and was sent back to the minors earlier this week. Womack was signed by Triple-A Iowa on May 7 and called up by the Cubs on May 26. He began the season with the Cincinnati Reds.

Such a disapointing team this year. The trash on the field was fitting today...

You think Hosmack might get the idea that he blows and finally retire?

no. someone insane will give him a contract.

I don't think anyone will give him a contract. You have to be sick to even try. Yes I am calling the Reds and the Cubs sick.

Well, when he clears waivers, teams can sign him for the minimum.

He'd make a decent pinch-runner.
