Cubs1The Boise Hawks, in conjunction with the Chicago Cubs, have announced four roster moves prior to Game 2 of their three-game series in Eugene.

Tommy Thorpe and James Norwood, two pitchers from the 2014 draft class, will join the team from the Arizona Rookie League, while pitchers Greyfer Eregua and Alberto Diaz will join the Mesa Cubs.

Eregua, from San Carlos, Venezuela, was 1-0 with a 6.23 ERA in seven appearances this season and current leads the Northwest League with four home runs allowed.

Diaz, from Caracas, Venezuela, was 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in seven appearances in Boise.
