Despite having a great spring, a 1.35 ERA in three games, Assad was optioned to Triple-A due to not having a spot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Since joining the Iowa Cubs, Assad has struggled, allowing seven earned runs in seven innings (two starts). Even though Assad hasn\u2019t done well, he\u2019d be a quality inning-eater if and until Horton returns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Right-hander Ben Brown is another option to fill in for the short term. Brown has done well out of the bullpen, having a 2.70 ERA and eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">However, in 114.2 innings as a starter, Brown has struggled, posting a 5.26 ERA.
