"Infielder Scott Kingery, who'd been designated for assignment, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa. He currently shows on the active I-Cubs roster."
"Similarly, righty swing man Vince Velasquez was DFA'd, cleared waivers, and was outrighted to Iowa. He doesn't have options left, but the Cubs can theoretically bring him up and down."
"The Cubs added to their pitching depth at Iowa by way of claiming 26-year-old lefty Doug Nikhazy off of waivers from the White Sox and optioning him to Iowa."
"Nikhazy cruised his way up to Triple-A with relative ease, but hit a bit of a wall in 2025. He's a soft-tossing contact manager who may not quite make it."
The Chicago Cubs have been active in making roster changes due to a series of injuries. Infielder Scott Kingery was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa after clearing waivers. Righty Vince Velasquez also cleared waivers and was outrighted, with potential for free agency if he finds a better opportunity. The Cubs added pitching depth by claiming Doug Nikhazy from the White Sox, who has options remaining and may be developed further. Nikhazy, a former prospect, struggled recently but could benefit from the Cubs' coaching.
