"Seiya Suzuki opening the season on the IL seemed to open the door for Alcántara, who will be out of options after this season, so see some more MLB time early."
"The Cubs will go with former Cardinals star Dylan Carlson in the outfield. He'll need a spot on the 40-man, which will be created by moving infielder Tyler Austin to the 60-day IL."
"There has also been speculation about the Cubs rostering former Phillies standout Scott Kingery in order to have more infield depth."
"The Chicago Cubs yesterday reduced the Spring Training roster from 38 to 36 players."
Javier Assad and Kevin Alcántara have been optioned to Triple-A Iowa as the Chicago Cubs finalize their roster. Seiya Suzuki's injury opened a potential spot for Alcántara, but the Cubs opted for Dylan Carlson instead. Speculation surrounds the addition of Scott Kingery for infield depth, which may involve designating Ben Cowles or placing Justin Steele on the 60-day IL. The Cubs have reduced their Spring Training roster from 38 to 36 players, consisting of 19 pitchers, four catchers, seven infielders, and six outfielders.
