Eric Sogard News
The Chicago Cubs have activated infielder Matt Duffy from the 60-day injured list on Friday. Duffy was sidelined since May 22 with a lower back strain. Duffy was having a solid season before his injury and has hit .278 with one home run, 12 RBI and three stolen bases. With infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant likely to be dealt and Joc Pederson recently dealt, Duffy should get a good amount of at-bats and will bat fifth on Friday. To make room for Duffy, the Cubs have designated infielder Eric Sogard for assignment. Sogard was hitting .249 with one home run, 12 RBI and three stolen bases this season and is likely to latch on with as organizational depth for another club. Both Sogard and Duffy can remain on the waiver wire.
Chicago Cubs infielder Eric Sogard (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb contusion. Sogard has been operating as a backup infielder for the Cubs and has also made five appearances as a relief pitcher. Sogard hasn't done much this season with his bat and is hitting .250 with one home run and 11 RBI. Even when healthy, Sogard should be on the waiver wire. Sogard will be replaced on the roster by infielder Sergio Alcantara. Alcantara will operate in a similar role as Sogard was for the Cubs and can be avoided in all formats for now.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Eric Sogard went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss versus the Cleveland Indians. The veteran took Shane Bieber deep in the top of the fifth inning for his first home run of the season. Sogard has been on the wrong side of a platoon with David Bote at second base and is about to lose more playing with infielder Nico Hoerner (forearm) aiming to return this weekend. Sogard is now hitting .268 with one home run and six RBI. He can safely be left on the waiver wire.
