The World Baseball Classic ended with a victory for Venezuela over Team USA and Team USA, but the team's uniforms are now in storage. Despite the loss, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Alex Bregman, and Daniel Palencia are all wearing Cubbie blue again after the tournament ended. Palencia wore a Venezuela jersey when he returned to the Cubs' clubhouse after his team's day off. Manager Craig Counsell said Palencia, who was in midseason form, will probably pitch in one game before camp breaks Tuesday. Right-handers Ethan Roberts and Gavin Hollowell were sent to Triple-A Iowa, reducing the spring-training roster to 44 with five days left in camp.
