The Chicago Cubs have outrighted Thomas Diamond from the team’s 40-man roster, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.  The move was done in order to add Doug Davis to the roster.

The 28-year-old right-handed pitcher last played with the Cubs in 2010 when he went 1-3 with a 6.83 ERA in 16 appearances (3 starts).

Davis takes the mound for the first time today since being sidelined last July with elbow tendon surgery.
