"Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Top Pickups and Sleeper Hitters for Week 4"

Colton Cowser, Michael Busch, Nelson Velázquez, Brett Baty, and Dean Kremer are among the top fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups. Cowser's recent performance and power potential make him a must-add, while Busch and Velázquez also offer strong hitting and power potential. Baty has shown promise after a slow start last season, and Kremer has impressed with his strikeout potential. Additionally, Michael Kopech is a valuable pickup for his closing potential with the Chicago White Sox.

"Cubs Secure Another Trade Before MLB Deadline"

The Chicago Cubs have made a second trade ahead of the MLB trade deadline, acquiring relief pitcher Jose Cuas from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for outfielder Nelson Velazquez. Cuas, who has a 4.54 ERA in 45 games this season, will bolster the Cubs' bullpen as they aim to make a run at the National League playoffs. Velazquez, who has spent his entire professional career with the Cubs, will start a new chapter with the Royals.

"Cubs Recall Christopher Morel, Manager's Explanation Questioned"

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has been accused of hypocrisy after promoting Christopher Morel to the Major League level despite previously stating that he would not be promoted until there was a path to everyday at-bats. Ross has now said that Morel's role will not involve everyday at-bats. Morel has played exclusively in the outfield over the past three weeks with Triple-A Iowa.

Seiya Suzuki returns to Cubs roster after injury stint.

The Chicago Cubs have activated outfielder Seiya Suzuki from the 10-day Injured List and optioned utility man Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa to make room for him. Reliever Jeremiah Estrada is expected to join the team soon, but the Cubs have not announced the corresponding move. Nelson Velazquez remains as the team's fourth outfielder. Suzuki is expected to improve on his debut MLB season, and the Cubs need him to break out.

Nelson Velázquez's Grand Slam Leads Cubs to Victory Over Mariners.

The Chicago Cubs made a stunning comeback from a 7-0 deficit to beat the Seattle Mariners 14-9. The Cubs' Nelson Velázquez hit a grand slam to put the Cubs ahead 8-7 in the third inning, and they never looked back. Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson left the game in the sixth inning with lower left side tightness, but it doesn't appear to be serious. The Cubs' varied offense saw every player reach base and score a run except for two, and every player had a hit except for Patrick Wisdom. Cubs relievers did a nice job keeping the Mariners' bats quiet after Hayden Wesneski's departure.

"Nelson Velázquez's Grand Slam Leads Cubs to Epic Comeback Win"

The Chicago Cubs made a historic comeback against the Seattle Mariners, erasing a seven-run deficit to win 14-9 at Wrigley Field. Outfielder Nelson Velazquez's grand slam was the highlight of the game, propelling the Cubs to an eight-run inning and ultimately the victory. It was the first time in 79 games that the Cubs had come back from a seven-run deficit to win, and the first time in the MLB since 2001 that a team had trailed by seven innings in the second and rallied to take the lead by the end of the third.

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.
