The Cubs recalled Hodge from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
The right-hander got opportunities to close early in the season, but he's been at Triple-A since late July after recovering from a shoulder injury. Hodge has struggled to a 6.85 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 23.2 major-league innings this year, and he didn't fare much better for Iowa with a 6.61 ERA. Daniel Palencia has since locked down the closer role for the Cubs, and Hodge will likely fill a lower-leverage role.
