Knoxville Smokies News Release


KODAK - The Chicago Cubs announced a transaction that impacts their Double-A affiliate Tennessee Smokies roster prior to tonight's series finale against the Jacksonville Suns at Smokies Stadium.

Infielder Jonathan Mota has been transferred to Tennessee from Triple-A Iowa. In two stints with the I-Cubs this season, the 27-year-old has posted a .237 average (18-76) with ten runs scored, a homer and nine RBI. Through his 35 contests with Tennessee this year, the infielder has accumulated a .232 average (29-125) with five doubles, one home run and six RBI.

Tennessee's active roster stands at 25, and a revised roster is attached.

The Smokies are scheduled to wrap up their five-game set this evening with the Jacksonville Suns, the Double-A affiliate of the Miami Marlins at 7:15 p.m. Tennessee is expected to give the ball to LHP Jeffry Antigua (0-1, 2.45), while Jacksonville is anticipated to counter with RHP Jose Urena (6-7, 4.14), who was rated by *Baseball America* as the seventh-best Marlins prospect before this season.

Tickets for that game and all remaining 2014 Smokies home games are still available and can be purchased online at www.smokiesbaseball.com, or by calling the Smokies Ticket Office at (865) 286-2300.
