Sent to minors The Cubs optioned Abbott to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Impact Abbott was sent back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Kyle Ryan, who was called up from Iowa in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old right-hander saw sparse action out of the Chicago bullpen upon being promoted June 5, appearing in four games while posting a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings. The Cubs will likely transition him back into a starting role once he rejoins Iowa.

Recalled by Cubs Abbott was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The righty has yielded one earned run in 3.1 innings of relief with the big-league club this season. Abbott has struggled at Triple-A though, pitching to a 6.03 ERA in 31.1 innings. He's been plagued by the long-ball, allowing eight at that level in 2021. Abbott may be called upon for some middle-innings work Wednesday, as spot starter Robert Stock is not expected to have an extended outing against the Mets.

Makes successful MLB debut Abbott pitched two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's loss to the Giants. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one.

Impact Abbott was called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day and was effective in his MLB debut. The 25-year-old had a 6.39 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in five starts for Iowa before getting the call, so expectations should be tempered, though he at least made a good first impression. Abbott will serve out of the Cubs' bullpen for the time being but could be an option for some spot starts.

Recalled by Cubs Abbott was recalled by the Cubs on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact The Cubs added Abbott to the 40-man roster in November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, and he'll now be available to make his major-league debut out of the bullpen. The right-hander made five starts for Triple-A Iowa to begin the year and posted a 6.39 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 25.1 innings. Although Abbott will serve as a reliever to begin his time in the big leagues, he could also fill in as a starter if needed.
