Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, September 20 edition

Since the last update in this series, the Cubs swept a really good team and then... went 1-3 against bad teams. Go figure.

Three up

Zach McKinstry makes his case for the 2023 roster

Since the last update here, McKinstry is batting .269/.269/.615 (7-for-26). That’s a weird slash line, because four of the seven hits are for extra bases (double, triple, two home runs). Overall as a Cub, he has 25 hits, 10 for extra bases (four doubles, three triples, three home runs).

He’s put himself in the conversation for a spot as a spare part infielder for the 2023 Cubs.
