John Koronka

3/31/2006

The Chicago Cubs traded Koronka to the Texas Rangers Friday in a three-team trade also involving the Oakland Athletics. The A's dealt utilityman Freddie Bynum and left-hander John Rheinecker to Texas for right-hander Juan Dominguez. The Rangers then dealt Bynum to the Cubs for Koronka.

Koronka was recalled from Triple-A Iowa, where he was 9-11 with a 4.24 ERA in 23 games. In a previous stint with the Cubs this year, the lefty was 1-2, 7.47 in four appearances, including three starts.

On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs recalled righthander Todd Wellemeyer from Triple-A Iowa and sent Koronka to the same affiliate. In three starts and a relief appearance for the Cubs this season, the 25-year-old lefty is 1-2 with a 7.47 ERA.

8/11/2005

Koronka has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa by the Chicago Cubs. The lefthander, who takes the roster spot of the struggling Rich Hill, went 1-2 with a 7.63 ERA in three starts with the Cubs earlier this season -- his first major league action.

6/15/2005

After a couple of rough outings filling in as the Cubs' fifth starter, Koronka was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday. The Cubs recalled southpaw Rich Hill from Iowa to replace Koronka on the 25-man roster.

5/31/2005

The Cubs plan to recall Koronka from Triple-A Iowa to make the Wednesday start at Dodger Stadium. It was thought that Todd Wellemeyer would work Wednesday's game, but he will be kept in the bullpen during the Cubs' current stretch of 20 straight games, which began on May 20. Koronka will be starting in place of Mark Prior, who suffered a compression fracture near his right elbow over the weekend.
