Gallager called up, Petrick back to Triple A

The Chicago Cubs on Thursday recalled righthander Sean Gallagher from Class AAA Iowa.This will mark Gallagher’s second stint in the majors, as he was 0-0 with a 9.53 ERA in three relief appearances in June. The 21-year-old made his debut on June 9 by tossing 3 1/3 innings at Atlanta.
In a corresponding roster move, righthander Billy Petrick was optioned to Iowa. Petrick, 23, had no record with a 3.18 ERA in four relief appearances with the Cubs.
This is clearly just a move to get a fresh arm in the bullpen to help out this weekend. Expect another move to be made when the team comes back after the All Star break especially if Ryan Dempster is ready to go.
