Conner Menez - Contract selected by Cubs Menez's contract was selected by the Cubs on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Menez threw 42.1 innings over the last three seasons for the Giants, posting a 4.04 ERA. He owns a strong 2.16 ERA in 16.2 frames for Triple-A Iowa this season.

Adrian Sampson - Optioned to Triple-A Sampson was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Sampson spent just a single day on the major-league roster, allowing two unearned runs in one inning of relief Sunday against the Dodgers. He'll head back to the minors as Frank Schwindel returns to the major-league roster.

David Robertson - Hits injured list Robertson was placed on the injured list for undisclosed reasons Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact In addition to not specifying why Robertson was out, the Cubs also didn't specify which injured list he'd landed on, which fits the pattern teams have used when a player lands on the COVID-19 injured list. It's unclear whether or not Robertson has tested positive for the virus himself. Rowan Wick and Mychal Givens look like the top option for saves in his absence.

Rafael Ortega - Not starting against lefty Ortega will sit Monday against San Diego, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Ortega has been on the bench against every lefty the Cubs have faced this season, a trend that continues here against MacKenzie Gore. Willson Contreras will rest his legs as the designated hitter, while Yan Gomes starts behind the plate.
MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Alfonso Rivas - On bench against lefty Rivas will sit Monday against the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Rivas hasn't started against a southpaw all season, a trend which will continue here against MacKenzie Gore. Frank Schwindel will get the start at first base.

Patrick Wisdom - Ready to return Wisdom (ankle) will Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune Monday against the Padres.
Impact Wisdom left Saturday's game against the Dodgers with a bruised ankle and didn't appear in Sunday's series finale, but he's ready to go Monday following a brief absence. He's hit similarly to how he did last year so far this season, as his lopsided .226/.283/.488 slash line is good for a 118 wRC+ despite his 38.0 percent strikeout rate.

Frank Schwindel - Set to rejoin big club The Cubs will recall Schwindel from Triple-A Iowa ahead of Monday's game in San Diego, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Chicago optioned Schwindel to Triple-A just one day ago, so in order for him to be eligible to rejoin the big club, the Cubs will have to place another player on the injured list. Before being demoted, Schwindel had handled an everyday role for the Cubs at either first base or designated hitter, hitting .209 with five extra-base hits in 96 plate appearances. Because of his earlier struggles, Schwindel may have to settle for a part-time role during his upcoming stint with the big club unless the Cubs place another everyday position player on the IL.

Willson Contreras - Reaches twice in loss Contreras went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact The Cubs are scuffling at just 9-18, but Contreras has played well lately, going 6-for-17 across his last five games with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. He should remain a solid fantasy catcher, though run-producing opportunities may be somewhat limited moving forward if the team continues to struggle as a whole. As it stands, Contreras looks like Chicago's most proven offensive commodity at the moment.
MAY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Ortega - Scores lone run Sunday Ortega went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Ortega led off and supplied one of the Cubs' four hits, including the team's only extra-base effort. The 30-year-old hasn't done much offensively this season with a .208 batting average and .613 OPS, which is a far cry from the .291 average and .823 OPS he registered in 2021. Ortega also has to contend with Jason Heyward and several others for playing time, so he's not the most reliable fantasy asset at the moment.
