Cubs send Mervis, Velazquez, Bote to minor-league camp; roster at 41. McGrawDHSports Cubs
The Cubs sent 10 players to the minors Thursday, trimming the major league roster to 41. They need to be at 26 players by Opening Day on Mar. 30.
Mervis was named Cubs minor league player of the year in 2022 after hitting a combined .309 with 36 home runs and 119 RBI at three different levels. It was the best offensive performance by a Cubs prospect since Kris Bryant in 2014. There was some thought he could open this season at first base, but the Cubs signed Eric Hosmer and Trey Mancini as free agents, basically ensuring Mervis would start the year at Iowa.
The Cubs beat Arizona 11-1 in spring training action on Thursday. Pitching was a highlight as Hayden Wesneski threw 5 innings, allowing just an unearned run, then Keegan Thompson followed with 2 perfect innings. Suzuki getting closer to return: Outfielder Seiya Suzuki is making good progress from an oblique injury and it's possible he could be ready to return by mid-April. Tauchman is in the mix to help replace Suzuki early, but the Cubs are also loaded with spare infielders who can play in the corners, like Patrick Wisdom, Christopher Morel, Zach McKinstry and Miles Mastrobuoni.
