2 years agoThe Chicago Cubs optioned first baseman Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa after their game on Tuesday, clearing the way for outfielder Franmil Reyes to join the active major league roster after he was claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. Schwindel was hitting .229/.277/.358 with eight home runs, 36 RBI, 23 runs scored and 58 strikeouts in 292 plate appearances over 75 games for the Cubs this year. Chicago is expected to move Patrick Wisdom over to first base, with Reyes serving regularly as the designated hitter. Reyes hit 30 homers in 2021, but he really struggled in 70 games with Cleveland this year, going 56-for-263 (.213) with nine home runs and 28 RBI. Perhaps a change of scenery will be good for the power-hitting right-hander.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
