Cubs' Justin Grimm: Earns eighth hold Wednesday

Grimm earned his eighth hold - and third in his last five appearances - Wednesday against the Padres.

Analysis:

With Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon on the shelf, Grimm may be the top setup man on the Cubs' active roster. His season numbers (3.98 ERA and 1.23 WHIP) may look pedestrian, but he hasn't given up a run in nearly a month. Over his last 18 appearances, he's thrown 14 scoreless innings, giving up just six hits and recording a 19:4 K:BB.
