Chicago Cubs Trade: Team Picks Up Tony Kemp From Houston, Moving Martin Maldonado To Astros
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Cubs have acquired Tony Kemp from the Houston Astros, trading away catcher Martin Maldonado.
Maldonado's stint with the Cubs was a short one, as he appeared in only four games, while starting catcher Willson Contreras recovered from an injury suffered earlier in July.
That injury turned out to be a minor one.
Kemp has seven home runs and 17 RBI in 163 at-bats for the Astros.
