ATLANTA (AP) - The Chicago Cubs have added outfielder Chris Coghlan to their 25-man roster and placed infielder Tommy La Stella on the 15-day disabled list.
The Cubs acquired Coghlan from Oakland for minor league infielder Arismendy Alcantara on Thursday. Coghlan was with the team for Friday night's game at Atlanta.
The move with La Stella, who has a right hamstring strain, is retroactive to Wednesday.
The 30-year-old Coghlan was hitting .146 in 51 games with Oakland. He is returning to Chicago, where he spent two seasons and set a career high with 16 home runs in 2015.
