Latest news
The Cubs reinstated Roberts (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Roberts had been shelved since June 29 due to forearm inflammation but is back to full health after completing a six-appearance rehab assignment at Triple-A. The Cubs don't have a spot available for the right-hander in the big-league bullpen, so he'll stick around at Iowa for now.

Roberts (forearm) tossed a perfect inning in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Iowa.
Roberts needed just 10 pitches (seven strikes) to retire the side in what was his first game action at any level since June 28. Cubs manager Craig Counsell hasn't provided word on the next steps for Roberts, but the right-hander may not need any further rehab appearances before returning from the 15-day injured list. MLB.com currently lists Roberts as its probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, though if he's activated for that contest, he would likely work just an inning or two before David Peterson takes over in bulk relief.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said July 8 that Roberts (forearm) completed a bullpen session, MLB.com reports.
Roberts had been scheduled to throw off a mound a second time prior to the All-Star break, though it's unclear if that came to pass. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 29 due to forearm inflammation and will eventually need to complete a rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list.

The Cubs placed Roberts on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right forearm inflammation.
Roberts has allowed five runs (four earned) over his last three appearances out of the Chicago bullpen. His recent struggles may have been linked to the forearm injury, and by going on the 15-day IL, he'll be shelved until at least after the All-Star break in mid-July. Gavin Hollowell was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to give the Cubs more depth out of the bullpen in Roberts' absence.

The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
With Jameson Taillon (hamstring) moving to the injured list Tuesday, Roberts will come up from Triple-A to give the Cubs some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty has performed well in the majors this season, posting a 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 18.1 innings with Chicago.

The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Roberts owns an impressive 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 18.1 innings on the year, but he's given up four runs (three earned) over his last three outings and will now return to Triple-A to get back on track. Javier Assad was recalled from Iowa to fill the open bullpen spot.
