Franmil Reyes

The Chicago Cubs (44-64) will continue their tank-off with the Washington Nationals (36-75) Tuesday at 7:05 PM CT. Like most things this season, the Cubs are losing the tank-off and didn’t help things by beating the Nationals last night 6-3. Personally, I’m a fan of the Cubs re-signing Tyler Chatwood and having him pitch every game so Chicago can slide into the bottom three records. Just saying.

Early Monday afternoon, the Chicago Cubs made what some may consider a surprising move, when they went out and claimed Franmil Reyes off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians. Reyes, who is currently in the midst of his worst season of his career, will join the Cubs looking to bounce back. Reyes is batting .213 this season with only nine home runs, while striking out in 37.1 percent of his at-bats.

A year later, he's headed down to the minor leagues as the Cubs optioned Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa after Monday's 6-3...

If I had told you a year ago that Cleveland would be cutting Franmil Reyes in August, you would have called me insane. Reyes posted an .846 OPS with 30 home runs in 2021, but the Opening Day cleanup hitter for the Guardians was designated for assignment over the weekend:

Reyes went 1-for-4 with an RBI in a 6-5 loss Tuesday against Washington. Reyes recorded his first hit as a Cub when he lined a single to right field with two outs in the seventh to tie the game 4-4. He was replaced with a pinch runner following the hit. The 27-year-old hit fifth in the lineup and served as the designated hitter in his first game for Chicago. He's likely to receive a significant amount of playing time down the stretch as the Cubs hope he can find his way and return to the level of his first four seasons when he produced a .828 OPS and 92 homers.
