The Cubs called in offensive help for the series finale Wednesday against the Brewers.
With left fielder Ian Happ out of the lineup after fouling a pitch off his left shin Tuesday, the Cubs recalled left-handed hitter Moises Ballesteros and designated switch-hitting utility player Vidal Bruján for assignment.
Ballesteros was in the starting lineup Wednesday against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta, serving as the designated hitter and batting seventh. Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs’ regular DH, started in left field.
“I know how to be a little more calm, a little more patient when hitting,” Ballesteros said through a team interpreter when asked what he learned in first major-league stint.
