Zach McKinstry - Traded to Cubs McKinstry was traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs on Saturday in exchange for Chris Martin, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.
Impact A 33rd round pick in 2016, McKinstry has a .323/.401/.550 slash line with 18 home runs in 114 games at Triple-A, but his .210/.266/.403 career line in 74 games in the majors is less impressive. He has played at every position besides catcher, first base and center field this year alone, so his defensive versatility is a big plus.

Frank Schwindel - Reaches three times Friday Schwindel went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's win over the Giants.
Impact Schwindel has been playing regularly at first base or as the designated hitter for the Cubs, though he's fallen short of his 2021 mini breakout, when he recorded a .962 OPS and 14 home runs across 64 games toward the end of the year. Through 71 games this season, the 30-year-old has a .654 OPS and eight home runs.

David Robertson - Struggles in non-save situation Robertson allowed two runs on three hits across an inning of relief in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants. He struck out one.
Impact This was Robertson's first time allowing multiple earned runs in an outing since May 7, and it raised his season ERA from 1.83 to 2.23. That's still a very solid figure, and the 37-year-old remains a likely candidate to be traded before Tuesday's deadline, due to his steady performance and expiring contract. Robertson has been the closer for the Cubs with 14 saves this year, though a trade may shift him into a setup role in a more established bullpen, which would obviously lower his fantasy value.

Patrick Wisdom - Homers in consecutive contests Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.
Impact Wisdom opened the scoring with a solo shot in the fifth inning, and he added another run in the ninth after hitting a ground rule double. This was the third baseman's first multi-hit effort since July 5, and he's homered in consecutive games. For the season, he's slashing .226/.321/.460 with 19 long balls, 50 RBI, 51 runs scored, six stolen bases and a career-high 22 doubles in 95 contests.

Marcus Stroman - Throws six shutout innings in win Stroman (3-5) allowed eight hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings to earn the win Friday over the Giants.
Impact Stroman was dialed in, throwing 67 of 95 pitches for strikes. The eight hits actually matched his second-highest total allowed this season, but he was able to limit the opposition to one or zero runs for the fourth straight start since returning from a shoulder injury. The right-hander has a 3.99 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 62:18 K:BB through 67.2 innings. His next start is tentatively scheduled to be a road matchup in St. Louis next week.
