Wade Miley - Shoulder not responding well Miley played catch Monday but still isn't rebounding from his left shoulder injury as well as the Cubs had hoped, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Miley looked as though he might have been a candidate to return from the 15-day injured list this week after he allowed one unearned run over five innings in his most recent rehab start at Triple-A Iowa on Aug. 16, but the veteran southpaw experienced renewed discomfort in his strained shoulder in that outing and is without a clear timeline to return to game action. The Cubs may have Miley rest for the next few days before determining his next steps, but in any case, he'll likely have to throw at least one more rehab start or simulated game before he's activated from the IL.

Jason Heyward - Shifts to 60-day IL The Cubs transferred Heyward (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Heyward was already set to miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign, but the Cubs' decision to move him to the 60-day IL will open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Javier Assad, who was called up Tuesday to start the first game of a doubleheader with the Cardinals. Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer already said the veteran outfielder won't be retained heading into 2023, but the team may not officially release him until the offseason.

Javier Assad - Called up ahead of MLB debut The Cubs selected Assad's contract from Triple-A Iowa ahead of his scheduled start in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago...
Impact Outfielder Jason Heyward (knee) was transferred from the 10-day IL to the 60-day injured list to clear room on the 40-man roster for Assad, who will be making his MLB debut Tuesday. Assad will likely just be in line for a spot start before heading back to Iowa, though he could change the Cubs' plans for him if he fares better than expected against a hot-hitting St. Louis lineup. Over his 36.2 innings at Iowa since receiving a promotion from Double-A Tennessee earlier this summer, Assad produced a 2.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB.

Nicholas Padilla - Called up as 27th man The Cubs selected Padilla's contract from Triple-A Iowa ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Padilla will serve as the Cubs' 27th man Tuesday, joining the team's bullpen after posting a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 10.2 innings in seven games with Triple-A this season. The right-hander will likely return to Iowa following Tuesday's action.
AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Madrigal - Sitting for early game Madrigal is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Impact Zach McKinstry will man second base and handle leadoff duties while Madrigal gets a breather for the early game of the twin bill. Madrigal led off in each of the Cubs' last five games, going 6-for-21 with a walk, three runs and an RBI.
AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willson Contreras - Resting for early game Contreras is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Impact Yan Gomes will be behind the dish for the opening game of the day while Contreras gets a breather. Expect Contreras to check in at catcher for the nightcap.
AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
P.J. Higgins - Filling in for banged-up Wisdom Higgins will start at first base and bat eighth in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Impact With Patrick Wisdom (finger) on the bench for the third straight contest, Higgins will stick in the lineup for the seventh time in eight contests. Despite getting ample playing time of late, Higgins hasn't gotten going at the plate. He's gone 2-for-22 with a home run, three RBI and nine strikeouts over the Cubs' last seven contests.
AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kervin Castro - Optioned to Triple-A Castro was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Castro will head back to Iowa after getting called up Aug. 3. While in the big leagues, the 23-year-old allowed seven runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out four over 7.2 innings in six appearances. Javier Assad was called up from Triple-A to replace him on the roster and start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

Patrick Wisdom - Remains on bench with injury Wisdom (finger) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
Impact Wisdom's strained left ring finger will keep him on the bench for a third consecutive game. The Cubs will deploy P.J. Higgins and Christopher Morel as their starters in the corner infield.
AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Schwindel - Goes on Triple-A IL Triple-A Iowa placed Schwindel on its 7-day injured list Thursday due to an unspecified issue, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports.
Impact After being optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 8, Schwindel went 6-for-19 with three doubles in five games for Iowa before going on the IL. Though details on the nature of his absence are scarce at the moment, it'll at least temporarily push back Schwindel's timeline for rejoining the big club.

Drew Smyly - Pitches well again but takes loss Smyly (5-7) allowed just one run on four hits across seven innings but took the loss Monday against the Cardinals. He walked two and struck out six.
Impact An Albert Pujols home run in the seventh inning was the only offense against Smyly, but it was enough to lead St. Louis to a 1-0 victory, as Jordan Montgomery outdueled Smyly with nine shutout innings. Despite the loss, Smyly still looked really good for the fourth game in a row. In those outings, the lefty has allowed just three earned runs across 24 innings, and he's struck out 23 against just five walks. The veteran has lowered his ERA to 3.47 in the process, and the good run has put Smyly back on the fantasy radar. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next scheduled start Saturday against the Brewers.

Adbert Alzolay - Begins rehab stint Alzolay (lat) started a rehab assignment with the Arizona Complex League Cubs on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Alzolay opened the 2022 campaign on the injured list due to a strained right lat, but he's been ramping up his activity of late. He'll likely need to prove his health in at least a few rehab outings before having a chance to be activated from the 60-day IL.
