Cubs manager Craig Counsell, center, takes the ball from starting pitcher Colin Rea during the sixth inning of Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Mariners.

The most likely roster move is either Ben Brown or Cade Horton will be sent down to Triple-A Iowa, simply because the Cubs have limited pitchers with minor league options left.
