Cubs re-signed RHP Zach Putnam to a minor league contract.
A fifth-round pick in 2008, Putnam was non-tendered by the Cubs after being claimed off waivers in early November. The 25-year-old appeared in just two games with the Rockies last season, but posted a 4.15 ERA with 49 strikeouts over 60 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He should be a candidate for a bullpen spot in spring training.
