Murray was DFA'd by Houston on Tuesday after he allowed 11 earned runs in just 13.1 frames in the majors. He owns a 1.17 ERA and 0.79 WHIP at Triple-A, however, so the Cubs will take a chance on him and add him to their 40-man roster. The 29-year-old still has minor-league options remaining and therefore doesn't have to join the 26-man roster immediately, though he could report directly to Chicago to provide a fresh bullpen arm.
