Grimm pitched a scoreless inning Sunday and is in contention for one of the remaining spots in the bullpen, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports. The Cubs are expected to have seven pitchers in their bullpen, and with Hector Rondon, Pedro Strop, Neil Ramirez, Jason Motte, and either Travis Wood or Edwin Jackson already locked in, there are probably only two spots up for grabs. Grimm missed time this spring with food poisoning, but he probably has the inside track for one of those jobs.

Grimm pitched a scoreless inning against the Angels on Thursday. Grimm has been quiet this spring - Thursday's appearance was his first in nearly two weeks. He's expected to be an imporant part of the Cubs' bullpen, but he's pretty far down in the pecking order for saves.

Grimm threw 3.1 hitless innings in relief against Baltimore on Saturday. Grimm came into the game after a length rain delay and shut down the Orioles, striking out three and walking one. For the year he's 4-2 with a 4.06 ERA in 60 appearances.

Justin Grimm will compete for a bullpen job. Grimm has served as a starter in the past, but the Cubs have enough rotation candidates and will ask the right-hander to fight for a middle relief spot. The 25-year-old right-hander was acquired from the Rangers last July as part of the Matt Garza trade.

Cubs recalled RHP Justin Grimm from Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs acquired Grimm from the Rangers in the Matt Garza deal. He had a 6.37 ERA in 89 innings with Texas earlier this season and won't carry fantasy relevance.

Cubs acquired RHP Justin Grimm from the Rangers in the Matt Garza deal. Grimm has posted a 6.37 ERA in 17 starts with the Rangers this season, but he's only 24 and could eventually develop into a solid back-end of the rotation starter. He'll report to Triple-A Iowa for now but will be an option for the Cubs' rotation later this season.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Cubs will also receive right-hander Justin Grimm in the Matt Garza deal. Grimm has a 6.37 ERA in 17 starts with the Rangers this season, but he's only 24 years old and was ranked as the Rangers' No. 5 prospect by Baseball America over the winter. Passan hears that the Cubs will also receive Mike Olt, C.J. Edwards, and a player to be named later. It's a pretty nice haul for a player who will be a free agent following the season.

Justin Grimm will be moved to the Rangers' bullpen at the start of the second half. The demotion comes as no surprise, as Grimm didn't last more than four innings in his last three starts and sports a 6.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP for the season. Ross Wolf is taking his spot in the rotation for the time being.

Justin Grimm struggled mightily in Friday's loss to the Tigers, and eventually departed in the fourth inning due to to right forearm soreness. The injury isn't believed to be serious, and he was removed for precautionary reasons. During his time in the ballgame, Grimm surrendered seven runs on 10 hits in just 3 1/3 innings of work. He walked two and struck out three in the rough outing. The first six Tigers reached base to start the game, with five of them coming around to score before the frame was over. He now owns a 6.37 ERA and 1.65 WHIP on the season, and may not get another start for the Rangers.

Justin Grimm was charged with three earned runs on six hits over four innings in Sunday's win over the Astros. Grimm had just two strikeouts and gave up a two-run homer to Marc Krauss in the second inning. He's now allowed a total of 22 hits and 16 runs over his last four outings (18 innings) and will take a 5.84 ERA into his next start Friday against the Tigers.
