"Cowles was designated for assignment in September 2025, getting claimed by the White Sox. This offseason, he went back to the Cubs, then to the Blue Jays and back to the Cubs again via a series of claims."
"In 2024, the Cubs acquired him from the Yankees as part of the Mark Leiter Jr. trade. Between the two clubs, he slashed .286/.372/.457 at Double-A that year for a 141 wRC+."
"He now has 611 total plate appearances at Triple-A dating back to the start of last year with a .234/.303/.370 line and 72 wRC+."
Infielder Cowles has been sent to Triple-A Iowa after clearing waivers, following his designation for assignment. At 26, he has been on waivers frequently over the past eight months. The Cubs added him to their 40-man roster in November 2024 to avoid the Rule 5 draft. He performed well in the minors but has struggled at Triple-A, posting a .234/.303/.370 line. This is his first outright assignment, and he remains with the Cubs as non-roster depth, aiming to return to the major league roster.
