Kevin Alcántara was promoted to the Cubs to add offensive production. He has hit 15 home runs for Triple-A Iowa and has been striking out less recently. His performance contrasts with that of his new teammates. To create space on the roster, Nicky López was designated for assignment. López has not contributed meaningfully since his earlier addition, described as a non-factor. The move reflects a roster adjustment aimed at improving the team’s lineup with a higher-upside minor leaguer.
"The Cubs brought up another top minor leaguer on Saturday, promoting Kevin Alcántara to provide a boost to the offense. He's got 15 homers and has been striking out less lately for Triple-A Iowa, unlike his new teammates."
"In order to make room on the roster, Nicky Lopez - who's been a total non-factor since his curious addition - has been designated for assignment."
