Grimm was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs just optioned Grimm on Saturday, but he'll return to temporarily fill the roster spot of Jason Hammel, who was placed on the bereavement list Wednesday. The move will leave the Cubs with a nine-man bullpen for the time being, though Grimm's stay with the big league club will l likely be a short one. Still, he remains a strong candidate to be recalled again when rosters expand next month.
