Cubs reliever Kyuji Fujikawa made a positive impression on his new teammates after completing a 30-pitch bullpen session in front of his new coaching staff Thursday, according to ESPN. Fujikawa seemed to be ahead of schedule, as he threw all of his pitches with command and velocity during his bullpen. He is expected to be the team's new setup man for closer Carlos Marmol. "We have Marmol closing and we have [Fujikawa] in the eighth inning," said manager Dale Sveum. "Then, we have so many different things we can do with the seventh inning and sixth inning. We can mix and match there."
