The Cubs recalled right-hander Javier Assad to start against the Angels on Friday. In a corresponding move, they put right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier on the 15-day injured list with a strained left groin.

On Sunday, Angels pitcher Kyle Hendricks will make his return to Wrigley Field in his first start against the Cubs since leaving in a trade.

Kyle Hendricks, who won a World Series ring with the Chicago Cubs in 2016, will face his former team for the first time Sunday.
