Cubs' Silva activated from DL to make Tuesday start
Baseball Betting Lines
09/07/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs activated right-hander Carlos Silva from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, in time to make his first start in over a month.
The Cubs announced on Saturday that Silva, who hadn't taken the hill due to a heart issue, would make his return to the rotation against the Houston Astros.
Silva's last performance came on August 1, when he was removed from a start against the Rockies in Denver due to an abnormal heart rate. Since that time, the 31-year-old underwent a cardiac ablation procedure to steady his heartbeat.
In his first season with the Cubs, Silva has gone 10-5 with a 3.92 earned-run average in 20 starts.
The Cubs made five additional roster moves Tuesday, calling up five players from their Triple-A affiliate in Iowa.
Chicago recalled pitchers Justin Berg and Jeff Samardzija, along with outfielder Sam Fuld, while selecting the contracts of infielder Bobby Scales and outfielder Brad Snyder.
