Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Relegated to Iowa
The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
Roberts owns an impressive 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 18.1 innings on the year, but he's given up four runs (three earned) over his last three outings and will now return to Triple-A to get back on track. Javier Assad was recalled from Iowa to fill the open bullpen spot.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Tagged with loss in relief
Roberts (0-1) was tagged with the loss in Wednesday's extra-inning defeat against the Athletics. He allowed an unearned run and didn't record a strikeout in two-thirds of an inning.
Roberts entered the game in the 10th inning with a runner on second, but he couldn't get the job done and was lifted after the A's had already grabbed the lead. Roberts has been one of the few bright spots for the Cubs' bullpen this season, but he's allowed three runs (two earned) in his last two outings (1.2 innings). However, considering he allowed just one run over his first 11 appearances (15 innings), some regression was to be expected.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Allows first run Monday
Roberts allowed a run on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.
Roberts got the call early with Shota Imanaga getting shelled for eight runs in only 4.1 innings of work. The former slowed down Milwaukee a bit, though he did allow his first run of the season in the process. Roberts is still sitting with a stellar 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he might need to take on a larger bullpen role moving forward with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Riley Martin (elbow) both on the 15-day injured list, and Hunter Harvey (triceps) on the 60-day injured list.

The Cubs reinstated Roberts (finger) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Through his five appearances, Roberts has permitted one run while posting a 5:4 K:BB across five innings. He could be a candidate to return from the IL this weekend during the Cubs' three-game series versus the Rangers.

The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.
Roberts was recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A on April 9 and allowed just one run over his first 6.1 innings in the majors.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Struggles Saturday
Roberts allowed four runs on three hits and a walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies. He struck out one.
Starter Ben Brown was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in 3.2 innings, but Roberts wasn't much more effective out of the bullpen. The righty came into the contest with a tidy 1.42 ERA, which ballooned to 5.40 after Saturday's outing. Roberts should stick in a middle-relief role for the Cubs for the time being, giving him limited fantasy upside.
