Nick Madrigal - Heads to bench Tuesday Madrigal is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Impact With starts at second base in four of the past five games, Madrigal looks to be the Cubs' preferred option at the position for the moment, though he'll need to sustain a good run of health and offensive production to keep his spot atop the depth chart. Christopher Morel will get the start at the keystone Tuesday at Madrigal's expense.

Franmil Reyes - Hitting fifth in Cubs debut The Cubs activated Reyes, and he'll serve as Chicago's designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact After getting scooped up off waivers from the Guardians on Monday, Reyes was formally added to the 26-man active roster with the Cubs optioning Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old delivered a disappointing .604 OPS over 280 plate appearances with the Guardians this season, but the Cubs should give him a long look to see if the change of scenery can help him unlock the power production he delivered in past years.

Field of Dreams Game 2022: Everything you need to know
The Cubs and Reds head to Iowa for this year's Field of Dreams Game on Thursday on FOX. Here's what to know about the showcase event.AUGUST 9, 2022
Franmil Reyes - Expected to join big club Tuesday The Cubs are expected to add Reyes to the 26-man active roster in advance of Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Chicago already seemingly cleared a spot on the roster for Reyes by optioning Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa following the Cubs' 6-3 win in the series opener Monday. Patrick Wisdom will likely take over as the regular first baseman in Schwindel's stead, while Reyes should fill the vacancy in the everyday lineup at designated hitter. Though Reyes slashed an uninspiring .213/.254/.350 over 280 plate appearances in the majors this season with the Guardians before being designated for assignment last weekend, he's still just 27 years old and posted OPS marks north of .770 in each of his first four big-league campaigns. The rebuilding Cubs should give Reyes every chance over the final two months of the season to prove he belongs in the team's long-term plans.

Frank Schwindel - Sent to Triple-A Schwindel was sent to Triple-A Iowa following Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Impact Schwindel was just 5-for-31 at the dish with two RBI and one run scored over his last 10 contests. He's presumably being sent down to make room for the addition of Franmil Reyes, who has yet to be officially activated after the Cubs claimed him off waivers from the Guardians earlier in the day.

Keegan Thompson - Sharp effort for ninth win Thompson (9-5) allowed one run on five hits across six innings to earn the win Monday against the Nationals. He had no walks and struck out three.
Impact Thompson allowed a solo home run to Luke Voit in the sixth inning but was otherwise spotless. It was a nice rebound after the righty allowed five runs on 10 hits across 4.2 innings in his last start. Thompson has had some ups and down lately, though he's been mostly good this season with a 3.36 ERA and the nine wins. After making just six starts last year, the 27-year-old is now up to 15 starts this season, and he's likely secured a spot in the team's 2023 rotation. Thompson is penciled in to start again Sunday against the Reds.

Christopher Morel - Hits 10th home run Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Morel batted ninth but was still able to provide a useful fantasy line. The rookie is now up to 10 home runs through 68 games. He also has nine stolen bases, so he could get to double figures in both categories soon. Morel's combination of power and speed makes him an interesting fantasy asset, and he could be primed for even better numbers in 2023 assuming he gets regular playing time starting Opening Day.
AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nelson Velazquez - Goes deep Monday Velazquez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.
Impact Velazquez was making his fifth start in six games, serving as the DH on Monday. The increased playing time is a good sign for the rookie, who now has six home runs and a .796 OPS this year. Assuming he continues to see a regular role, Velazquez could continue to provide decent power numbers down the stretch, which would give him some fantasy value.
