Chicago Cubs' Roster Updates: Velazquez Up, Suzuki's Return, and Injury Updates

Outfielder Nelson Velazquez has been recalled from Iowa to join the Chicago Cubs, with pitcher Javier Assad being optioned to Triple A. Velazquez was a solid bench option last year and has been hitting well at Iowa this year. The move likely provides short-term bench depth, with the Cubs expected to swap Velazquez out for another pitcher in a day or two. The return of Seiya Suzuki is unaffected by the move, and Assad will likely resume starting at Iowa.

Cubs Struggle in Early Season Games Despite Standout Performances.

The Cubs lost a game that felt like a win that slipped away, but they can still win the opening series by beating the Brewers today. Justin Steele had an outstanding start, and his fastball movement was a critical factor. Javier Assad had a good outing except for one bad plate appearance. Miles Mastrobuoni's non-dive was the whole ballgame anyway. Trayce Thompson had a three-homer game for the Dodgers. Christopher Morel is showing out at Iowa through two games.
