St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Cubs activated pitcher Felix Doubront off the 15-day disabled list Saturday.
Doubront had been sidelined with a left calf strain since joining the Cubs in a late July trade from Boston. The lefty was scheduled to start the opener of Saturday's doubleheader against St. Louis after making three rehab starts.
Before the trade, Doubront was 2-4 with a 6.07 ERA in 17 games, including 10 starts, for the Red Sox.
