Milwaukee, WI – The Chicago Cubs selected the contract of pitcher Manny Corpas from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.
Corpas, who signed as a free agent with Chicago last December, hasn't pitched in the majors since August 2010, when he suffered an elbow injury which required Tommy John Surgery.
Two years ago, for Colorado, he finished 3-5 with a 4.62 earned run average and 10 saves in 56 appearances.
Overall, the 29-year-old native of Panama is 12-16 with a 3.93 ERA in 280 games for the Rockies from 2006-10.
To make room on the roster, the Cubs placed pitcher Blake Parker on the 60-day disabled list retroactive to June 2 with an elbow injury. Parker had not allowed a run in 4 1/3 innings with the Cubs this season.
