The Chicago Cubs are calling up an infield prospect from Triple-A.
at Wrigley Field, the Cubs are reportedly planning to make another roster move. ESPN's Jorge Castillo reported on Sunday evening that Chicago is calling up infield prospect Luis Vazquez from Triple-A. Coincidentally, Vazquez and Castillo happen to be cousins, and Castillo learned about the impending roster move from Vazquez's mother.
The Cubs have not announced a corresponding roster move yet, but Vazquez's promotion could have something to do with Nico Hoerner, who has missed Chicago's last six games with left hamstring tightness.Vazquez, 24, was added to the Cubs' 40-man roster last winter. In 39 games at Triple-A Iowa this year, he's batting .262/.360/.397 with 13 extra-base hits, 22 runs and 11 RBIs.
A 14th-round draft pick out of high school in Puerto Rico in 2017, Vazquez has slowly and steadily risen through the minors over the last few years. While it took some time for his bat to develop, Chicago apparently thinks he's progressed enough in that area to give him a shot in the big leagues.. Chicago could use a spark after losing five of its last seven games, including two of three in Atlanta last week.
