Eric Stout - Moved off 40-man roster The Cubs designated Stout for assignment Thursday.
Impact Stout will cede his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster to right-hander Adrian Sampson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa. His demotion comes after he was one of the few bright spots for the Cubs in Wednesday's 19-5 loss to the Padres. Stout worked 1.2 perfect frames in long relief, striking out four of the five batters he faced.

Adrian Sampson - Returns to big leagues The Cubs selected Sampson's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Impact Sampson will be added to the Cubs' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for the second time this season after he had a one-day stint with the big club in May before being designated for assignment and claimed off waivers by Seattle. The Mariners released Sampson less than two weeks later, and the veteran right-hander re-signed with the Cubs on a minor-league deal. After the bullpen was taxed in the Cubs' 19-5 loss to the Padres on Wednesday, Sampson will be available to cover multiple innings in relief in Thursday's series finale, if needed.

Ian Happ - Logs three hits in blowout loss Happ went 3-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's 19-5 loss to the Padres.
Impact Chicago has now dropped nine consecutive games, but it's been through no fault of Happ. The 27-year-old has slashed .361/.439/.583 during the losing streak and has now recorded at least one hit in all but one of his last 14 starts. He'll serve as Chicago's designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Thursday's series finale.
JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Christopher Morel - Plates three runs Morel went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 19-5 loss to the Padres.
Impact Morel took reliever Craig Stammen deep in the sixth inning for a solo shot -- his fourth of the season -- and plated two more runs on a one-out base hit in the bottom of the second. The two-hit, three-RBI performance ended a brief skid at the dish for Morel, who had recorded just one base knock in 15 at-bats over the prior four contests. The rookie is in the lineup for Thursday's series finale, manning center field and batting leadoff.
JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Yan Gomes - Back on bench Thursday Gomes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Impact Since coming off the 10-day injured list Friday, Gomes has proceeded to start in four of the Cubs' subsequent six games while going 5-for-17 with a solo home run and an additional run. He'll be back on the bench for the day game after a night game, but Gomes looks as though he'll play more frequently than the typical No. 2 catcher since the Cubs often deploy top backstop Willson Contreras as a designated hitter.
JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Stroman - Plays catch Stroman (shoulder) played catch Thursday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Stroman hasn't pitched in nearly two weeks while battling shoulder inflammation. The fact that he's now able to throw again is certainly a good sign, but he still has several steps to go before being activated off the injured list.
JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Frank Schwindel - Heads to bench Schwindel will sit Thursday against the Padres, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Schwindel sits for the first time in over a month. He owns a .773 OPS in 33 games since his last time on the bench, a far better mark than his .535 OPS in 27 games up to that point. Patrick Wisdom shifts to first base for the first time this year in his absence, with Jonathan Villar starting at third.

Caleb Kilian - Surrenders five runs in loss Kilian (0-1) took the loss during Wednesday's 19-5 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks in four innings. He failed to record a strikeou...
Impact Kilian settled down after permitting two runs in the first but couldn't close out the fourth, ultimately surrendering three runs after retiring the first two Padres to fall in line for the loss. The 25-year-old had trouble finding the zone with only 45 of his 86 pitches going for strikes and just three of the swinging variety. Through two starts, Kilian has surrendered eight runs across nine innings with six strikeouts while allowing 15 baserunners. He figures to stick with the team for at least one more start as Chicago has been dealing with injuries to the rotation.

Pete Crow-Armstrong - Dealing with hand injury Crow-Armstrong is dealing with a hand injury and is expected to be sidelined for a week or two, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but it's apparently not a serious concern since Crow-Armstrong is expected to make a relatively quick return. The 20-year-old had a .998 OPS with Single-A Myrtle Beach to start the season and was promoted to High-A South Bend, but he's struggled through nine games at the higher level with a .692 OPS and 30.8 percent strikeout rate.
