Frank Schwindel News
Chicago Cubs infielder Frank Schwindel was released from the team. He was waived on Saturday and subsequently released on Sunday, which makes him a free agent. The 30-year-old infielder put together a .229/.277/.358 triple slash line to go along with eight home runs and 36 RBI over 271 at-bats with the Cubs this season. He's free to sign with another club if any team expresses interest in the final weeks of the regular season.
The Chicago Cubs optioned first baseman Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa after their game on Tuesday, clearing the way for outfielder Franmil Reyes to join the active major league roster after he was claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians on Monday. Schwindel was hitting .229/.277/.358 with eight home runs, 36 RBI, 23 runs scored and 58 strikeouts in 292 plate appearances over 75 games for the Cubs this year. Chicago is expected to move Patrick Wisdom over to first base, with Reyes serving regularly as the designated hitter. Reyes hit 30 homers in 2021, but he really struggled in 70 games with Cleveland this year, going 56-for-263 (.213) with nine home runs and 28 RBI. Perhaps a change of scenery will be good for the power-hitting right-hander.
Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In seven games in the month of July, Schwindel is hitting just .200 (5-for-25) with no homers and two RBI. Overall, the 30-year-old right-handed hitter is batting .233/.279/.372 with eight home runs, 35 RBI and 23 runs scored in 272 plate appearances and 69 games for the Cubbies. Alfonso Rivas is starting at first base and hitting eighth, while All-Star catcher Willson Contreras will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Pirates right-hander Bryse Wilson. Contreras is one of the better hitting catchers in baseball, while Rivas has hit just .225 on the year with three home runs, 23 RBI and three stolen bases in 169 at-bats.
