Cubs optioned LHP Brooks Raley, RHPs Trey McNutt and Alberto Cabrera and INF/OF Logan Watkins to Triple-A Iowa and RHP Robert Whitenack to Double-A Tennessee.
They also reassigned righty Nick Struck to minor league camp. Of the entire group, Cabrera probably had the best shot to make the team, but he really struggled this spring, allowing 12 runs over 6 2/3 frames. He'll be up with the big club at some point, though. Mar 11 - 11:46 AM

The Cubs will shut down Brooks Raley after his start Thursday against the Brewers.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

Cubs optioned LHP Brooks Raley to Triple-A Iowa.

Cubs recalled LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa.

Raley will start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader and immediately be sent back down. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily in two spot starts with the Cubs this season.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

Cubs optioned LHP Brooks Raley to Triple-A Iowa.

He was sent down to make room for Michael Bowden on the active roster. Raley was shaky in his first two major league starts, allowing 10 runs on 13 hits (three home runs) and four walks in 10 innings. He could possibly return to start in Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds, but he shouldn't be trusted in fantasy leagues.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

Making just his second career start, Brooks Raley allowed three runs on five hits in six innings of Sunday's loss to the Reds at Wrigley Field.

Raley struck out two and walked one, and allowed home runs to Ryan Ludwick and Jay Bruce. It was a marked improvement on his big-league debut, where he allowed seven runs in just four innings against the Padres on Tuesday. Raley should get the Reds against next Saturday, where the teams will play a day/night doubleheader in Cincinnati.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

Brooks Raley didn't look like he belonged in the majors Tuesday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and three walks in just four innings.

It was a nightmare big league debut for Raley. Promoted earlier in the day, he was absolutely blasted in what should have been the cushiest assignment in baseball -- an evening at PETCO. The 24-year-old posted a 3.58 ERA and 98/40 K/BB ratio in 130 2/3 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A. Respectable numbers, but one would suspect he'll head back to the farm after this stinker.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

Cubs purchased the contract of LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa.

Raley will get the start Tuesday in place of the injured Matt Garza (elbow). The 24-year-old has put up a 3.58 ERA and 98/40 K/BB ratio in 130 2/3 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A. Raley will get a chance to stick around for a while but can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Brooks Raley - S - Cubs

The Cubs will promote left-hander Brooks Raley to start Tuesday against the Padres.

Raley, 24, has a 3.58 ERA and 98/40 K/BB ratio in 130 2/3 innings this season between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa. Baseball America didn't include him among the Cubs' top 30 prospects during the offseason. He shouldn't be trusted in fantasy leagues right out of the gate.
