Feb. 28--Dexter Fowler's return to the Chicago Cubs oveshadowed the fact that the competition for the final spot in the bullpen shrunk.
That's because left-hander Zac Rosscup was placed on the 60-day disabled list because of left shoulder inflammation, effective April 3.
Rosscup, who had a 4.39 ERA in 33 appearances with the Cubs in 2015, was placed on the 15-day disabled list on June 17 with the same ailment and didn't rejoin the Cubs until September.
"It's been around a while," Rosscup said. "I dealt with it since last year. It was lingering. They want to make sure I have enough time to get rid of it so I'm 100 percent."
