Federowicz was called up by the Cubs on Tuesday, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Federowicz bit the bullet and accepted an outright assignment after being designated for assignment in June, and his patience has been rewarded as he will come up to join the expanded September roster. A .194/.245/.297 career hitter at the major league level, he will merely provide depth behind Willson Contreras, Miguel Montero and David Ross.
