Szczur was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old has been on the shuttle between Iowa and Chicago all season, but he hasn't been used much at all at the major league level, seeing a mere 35 at-bats across seven different stints in the majors to this point. Szczur will once again provide depth this time around, with David Ross placed on the family medical emergency list.

Szczur was recalled from Triple-A prior to Saturday's game, the Daily Herald's Bruce Miles reports.

Szczur was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday to make room for the returning Miguel Montero, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

In three games during his fifth stint with the big league team, Szczur only saw time as a pinch hitter and replacement in the corner outfield. Given the Cubs are clearly not shy about moving him between levels, Szczur is very likely to make a return by September at the latest and work in his usual bench role.
