  • Cubs activate Cody Bellinger for Tuesday return
    Cubs activated 1B/OF Cody Bellinger from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Bellinger will make his return to Chicago’s lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Padres following a two-week absence due to a rib fracture. The 28-year-old slugger was off to a bit of a slow start at the dish this season, batting .226/.320/.440 with five homers and 17 RBI in 97 plate appearances over 22 contests before a collision with the center-field wall back on April 23 resulted in a rib injury. Fantasy managers should make sure he’s back in their respective lineups moving forward. Rotoworld 3 minutes ago
     
  • Back in big leagues
    The Cubs recalled Thompson from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: He was just optioned Monday but is back a day later to replace the injured Daniel Palencia (shoulder). Thompson has allowed seven runs (four earned) and recorded just three outs over his last two appearances with the Cubs. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Not facing lefty
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

    Advice: As per usual, Carpenter will slide to the bench with southpaw Logan Allen on the mound for the Guardians. Instead, Ryan Vilade will make his 2024 debut and fill in at right field. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Cubs option Alexander Canario to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned OF Alexander Canario to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Canario heads back to the minors with Cody Bellinger returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old former top prospect batted a respectable .273/.360/.455 with one homer and one steal in 25 plate appearances over 13 games in his latest brief stint in the big leagues.

  • Lands on IL with shoulder injury
    The Cubs placed Palencia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder stiffness, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Palencia was touched up for three runs over an inning of work in Monday's loss to the Padres and finds himself on the IL a day later. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Keegan Thompson will absorb Palencia's spot in the Cubs' bullpen. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

    Cubs recalled RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Thompson rejoins Chicago’s relief mix shortly after being optioned to Triple-A Iowa due to an injury to righty Daniel Palencia.

  • Cubs put Daniel Palencia (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Cubs placed RHP Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list with shoulder stiffness.

    Advice: Palencia hits the injured list after being lit up for three runs over one inning of work during Monday’s series opener against the Padres. The 24-year-old reliever holds a bloated 6.55 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 12/8 K/BB ratio across 11 innings (seven appearances). Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
