Shaw Out, Alcántara In for Cubs | Chicago Cubs News
Description
Matt Shaw’s sidelined again—this time with a wrist injury, expected to miss at least ten days. It’s his second injury of the season after a back issue. To fill his spot, the Cubs are calling up Kevin Alcántara from Triple-A Iowa, who’s been hitting over .270 with 15 homers in just over 50 games down there. Though Alcántara’s big-league stats are modest, his power and consistency in Iowa make him a promising fill-in. Shaw, when healthy, has delivered solid numbers—batting over .240 with 4 homers and 4 steals in 56 games. The Cubs are watching closely as Alcántara steps into the lineup and await Shaw’s return.
