The Cubs have had to mix and match in the outfield for the last few weeks with Jason Heyward and Jake Marisnick out.
Today, Heyward was activated from the injured list and will be in tonight’s starting lineup. The Cubs also claimed righthanded reliever Dakota Chalmers on waivers from the Twins and optioned Chalmers to Double-A Tennessee, per Jordan Bastian. To make room for Chalmers on the 40-man roster, outfielder Nick Martini was designated for assignment. These are per Twitter reports from Paul Sullivan of the Tribune.
Marisnick, who was spotted taking batting practice in San Francisco Friday, has not yet been activated from the IL.
