Although the move is rather small, the Chicago Cubs reportedly added infield depth to the organization in the form of a solid Triple-A player, signing infielder Phillip Evans to a minor league deal, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Outside of brief MLB stints with the New York Mets in 2017 and 2018, Evans is a career minor leaguer.

The Mets drafted Evans, 26, in the 15th round of the 2011 MLB Draft. Evans, a career .260 minor league hitter, made his Triple-A debut with the Las Vegas 51s in 2017.
