Owen Caissie, a Chicago Cubs outfield prospect from Burlington, Ont., could make his major league debut against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was called up from triple-A Iowa after catcher Miguel Amaya was placed on the injured list. This season, Caissie is hitting .289 with 22 home runs and 52 RBIs in 93 games, showing strong performance in August with a .393 batting average. Amaya sprained his ankle during a game, leading to his return to the injured list after just one day back from a previous injury.
Caissie, batting .289 in 93 games this season with 22 homers and 52 runs batted in, is set for a potential MLB debut against the Blue Jays.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell described Owen Caissie's upcoming role as uncertain, noting the need for roster flexibility and giving players rest as the season unfolds.
