The Cubs have designated relief pitcher Edwin Jackson for assignment due to the promotion of Rafael Soriano from Triple-A Iowa. Chicago will have 10 days to trade, waive, or release Jackson.

Fantasy Impact:

Rafael Soriano is expected to compete for an important bullpen role. Jason Motte appears to have a solid grasp on the closer role, but manager Joe Maddon has shown that he likes to pitch the hot hand, whoever that may be.
