The Chicago Cubs reportedly will recall catcher Kyle Schwarber from Triple-A Iowa on Friday and place catcher Miguel Montero on the 15-day disabled list.
Montero will see a hand specialist about a thumb injury on Friday, ESPN.com reported.
Schwarber was MVP of the recent Futures Game and was successful in an earlier stint this season with the Cubs, hitting .364 (8-for-22) with a home run, triple and six RBIs in six games.
Schwarber is expected to back up David Ross and Taylor Teagarden.
