Cubs right-hander Javier Assad has been sidelined all season, but he said he’s watched the broadcast of every game.
“Now that I’m going to have a chance to watch the game from the dugout, it’s going to be great,” Assad said through team interpreter Fredy Quevedo Jr.
On his way to a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa, Assad swung by Chicago to touch base with the team.
