The Cubs announced this afternoon that they have released outfielders Owen Caissie On the list of injuries related to concussions in 7 days. Outfielder Kevin Alcantara Recall from Triple-A to replace Caissie on the active roster.
The Cubs recalled Caissie to the major league roster and recalled Alcantara to minors a day later. Caissie started yesterday’s game against the Rays, but he quit after grabbing the outfield walls of Wrigley Field. manager Craig Counsell Telling reporters (including Vinnie Duber of Chicago’s Sun Age) that Caissie was taking part in a concussion protocol after yesterday’s game. Apparently, Caissie’s symptoms were severe enough that they chose to put him on the shelf to give him time to recover.
The decision could end Caissie’s first season in the major leagues, depending on the severity of his concussion symptoms. If so, he will end in 2025, with only 12 games and 27 plate appearances in the majors, during which he collected five hits (including doubles and home runs) and one walk. That coffee pairing has been a great performance this year with Iowa, where he cut .286/.386/.551 in just 99 games, with 22 home runs and 28 doubles. Top 50 prospects for consensus in the game, Caissie Kyle Tucker Leaving the club through free agents during the offseason.
However, for the time being, his roster will go to Alcantara. The prospect of one of Alcantara’s top Cubs is often seen as sitting behind the league’s top 100, playing in just three games this year. He played 7-1 with three strikeouts this year and was primarily the Cubs bench for the next few weeks, although injury could provide him with more opportunities. Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki It is not available at present; Suzuki has been allowed to work on a daily basis in recent days due to illness, and Tucker has sent him to the injured list due to calf problems. Top prospects for fellow countrymen Moises Ballesteros (28 to 28 extra three hits) Currently viewing DH, which makes the fields on the right open to make Alcantara and Alcantara and Willi Castro Until Suzuki is ready to return to the game. Once Suzuki returns, Alcantara, Barrestros and Castro will all compete for game time until Tucker finally returns to the roster.
As Counsell told reporters (including athlete’s Sahadev Sharma), this may not be a while “It’s unlikely now.” Perhaps this position may change in the coming days, but Tucker has not resumed running since being put on the injury list. While the Cubs are not currently in danger of losing the playoffs, bringing the star’s 140 WRC+ Bat back into the roster before the playoffs begin, he can get into the game before the playoffs begin, which seems to be the top priority for the Cubs in the final two weeks of the season.
