芝加哥小熊队已从3A级别的爱荷华小熊队征召左投手德鲁·波默兰入队。此前，这位37岁的投手在本月早些时候被洛杉矶天使队解约。
波默兰在周五对阵圣路易斯红雀队的比赛中立即登场。他在第九局投球，面对的三名打者全部出局，未失一分，最终小熊队以1比17告负。这位老将上赛季从西雅图水手队转投小熊队后表现出色，在57场比赛中取得了2.17的自责分率，并助力球队打进国联分区系列赛。今年在天使队期间，波默兰表现挣扎，25场出赛的自责分率为5.01，并于6月15日被指定让渡。在他被解约后，小熊队与其签下了一份小联盟合约。主教练克雷格·康塞尔和棒球运营总裁杰德·霍耶表示，波默兰对球队的熟悉程度以及他的竞争精神是给予他这次机会的原因。球队已将左投手乔丹·威克斯下放至3A以腾出名额。
