The Cubs also make some necessary roster moves, sending Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa and designating Eric Hosmer for assignment. Despite the recent struggles, Cubs manager David Ross insists that this is not a shake-up and that the team is still in a good place mentally and cohesively.

Chicago Cubs Shake Up Roster, DFA Eric Hosmer and Make Other Moves

The Chicago Cubs have activated Nico Hoerner from the injured list and designated Eric Hosmer for assignment, while selecting the contract of outfielder Mike Tauchman and recalling infielder Edwin Ríos. The Cubs have also placed Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list and optioned Keegan Thompson to AAA Iowa. Hosmer's performance was underwhelming on the North Side, registering just a 67 OPS+ with five extra-base hits and 14 driven in across 31 games. The return of Nico Hoerner is welcome news for Cubs fans, as the infielder got off to a torrid start in 2023.

Cubs DFA veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer in Friday roster moves.

The Chicago Cubs have designated veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer for assignment as part of a series of roster moves. Hosmer has struggled offensively this season, slashing .234/.280/.330 with two home runs in 100 plate appearances. Once he clears waivers and is released, any team could sign him for the prorated league minimum. The Cubs only owe Hosmer the league minimum in 2023.

Matt Mervis Makes Impact in Big League Debut for Cubs.

The Chicago Cubs have called up Matt Mervis, their sixth-ranked prospect in the farm system, to play first base. Some speculate that the move is overdue, as the Cubs have lost six of their last seven games and Eric Hosmer's production has declined. However, experts believe that the call for Mervis is happening at the right time and that the Cubs are on the upswing. Mervis' talents come at the plate with his versatile hitting style and power, but his glove isn't much better than Hosmer's. The Cubs currently sit in third place in the NL Central with a 15-16 record.

Nationals secure second consecutive win against Cubs.

Despite a solid performance by pitcher Marcus Stroman, the Cubs offense struggled and lost to the Nationals 2-1. The Cubs have scored three runs or fewer in seven of their last 14 games and have lost all of them. The decision to have designated hitter Eric Hosmer lay down a sac bunt in the 9th inning with two on and nobody out has been criticized. The Cubs could use a spark and there are players in Iowa who could provide it.
