The Cubs have designated utility man Vidal Brujan for assignment to accommodate catcher/DH Moises Ballesteros on the active roster. Brujan, who was acquired from the Marlins, has struggled offensively this season, posting a .222 batting average and only managing 47 plate appearances. His performance has not met expectations since being a top-50 prospect. Ballesteros, one of the Cubs' top prospects, will step in at DH while Ian Happ deals with a possible injury, allowing Suzuki to shift to left field.
Vidal Brujan has been designated for assignment by the Cubs to make room for catcher/DH Moises Ballesteros on the active roster.
Brujan struggled offensively in 36 games with a .222/.234/.289 line and is seen as a versatile depth option after failing to establish himself in the majors.
Moises Ballesteros, a top prospect, will fill in at DH as the Cubs manage an injury to outfielder Ian Happ, who may miss at least one game.
Ballesteros previously debuted this season, where he had limited success at the plate with a 3-for-16 record.
