Dolis was in the mix for an Opening Day bullpen spot, but struggled in his four appearances this spring. With Kyuji Fujikawa (forearm) on the 15-day DL, he should provide solid bullpen depth.

Cubs recalled RHP Rafael Dolis from Triple-A Iowa.

Rafael Dolis - R - Cubs

Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Sunday that Rafael Dolis will be removed from the closer role.

Dolis hit the Pirates' Matt Hague with the bases loaded to force in the winning run Saturday and has been scored upon in five of his last six appearances. He also has a woeful 11/15 K/BB ratio on the year. The Cubs are expected to go with a combination of James Russell and Shawn Camp in the ninth inning.

Rafael Dolis - R - Cubs

Rafael Dolis hit Matt Hague with the bases loaded to end Saturday night's loss to the Pirates.

That's Cubs baseball for you. Dolis has collected four saves since May 4 and remains relevant in most fantasy leagues, but he's not a dominant reliever quite yet.

Rafael Dolis - R - Cubs

Rafael Dolis took a loss after giving up a run in a tie game Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Dolis now has two blown saves and two losses to go along with his win and three saves this month. However, he didn't lose any ground to James Russell today, not after Russell gave up a homer to Matt Carpenter in the eighth inning.

Rafael Dolis - R - Cubs

Rafael Dolis pitched a perfect ninth against the Braves to earn a save Wednesday.

James Russell set him up with a scoreless eighth. We're not big believers in Dolis, but given Carlos Marmol's performance the last year, there's no reason for the Cubs to be in any kind of hurry to go back to the veteran. Dolis is 3-for-4 saving games, and his one blown save came after Marmol left him in a jam.
