Myrtle Beach Pelicans News Release

The Chicago Cubs have announced the following roster moves affecting the Myrtle Beach Pelicans:

-INF Wladimir Galindo has been placed on the 7-day disabled list, retroactive to April 7.

-OF Daniel Spingola has been assigned to Myrtle Beach from Short Season Class A Eugene. He will wear No. 22.

Galindo hit .290/.350/.432 with 11 doubles, four home runs and 19 RBIs with Low-A South Bend a season ago in 44 games before a leg injury shortened his season. The Maracay, Venezuela native was 2-for-6 with a double on the season with Myrtle Beach. He left Friday's game in the sixth innings with an injury. Galindo is currently ranked as the No. 26 prospect in the Cubs' system by MLB.com

Spingola is in his third stint with Myrtle Beach. A Carolina League Mid-Season All-Star a year ago, he slashed .285/.368/.434 with 15 doubles, six triples, two homers and 27 RBIs in 64 contests with the Pelicans before earning a promotion to Double-A Tennessee. With the Smokies, he hit .237/.299/.385 with six doubles, one triple, four home runs and 13 RBIs in 43 games. The Alpharetta, Ga., native was originally selected by the Cubs in the 24th round of the 2014 draft before electing to return to Georgia Tech. Chicago took him again the next season in the 31st round.

The Pelicans' roster sits at 25 active players, with two players on the disabled list.
