Berg sent back to AAA
The Cubs officially activated Ryan Dempster from the disabled list Tuesday and optioned right-handed pitcher Justin Berg to Triple-A Iowa. Berg, called up Saturday, did not get in a game with the big league team but came close Monday night. He was warming up in the bullpen. Dempster had been sidelined because of a broken right big toe, injured in early July.

and thus...
Mr. Berg joins the ranks of Mark Leonette, players on the Cubs active roster but never gets into a game. Lets hope he gets recalled in Sept so he does have some stats to go along with his Major League service.

I'd have gone for Stevens.
With another meat grinder game tonight the Cubs will need some arms. Now it looks like we’ll see a mid-week move to shuttle a reliever back and forth from Des Moines.
the upside of sending down berg is,
his option for the year had already been burned. i imagine we see BJ Ryan by Monday.
but berg’s arm was fresher than stevens
