ImpactHollowell was designated for assignment by the D-Backs on Tuesday and will get a fresh start within the Cubs organization. The 26-year-old logged a 3.63 ERA across 17.1 innings for Arizona's Triple-A affiliate and hasn't pitched in the majors this season. David Bote was DFA'd to clear up room on the 40-man roster.

David Bote - DFA'd by CubsThe Cubs designated Bote for assignment Friday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

ImpactBote hasn't started a game for Chicago since July 28 and has netted merely four at-bats since then. While the Cubs have struggled to find a spot in the lineup for the 31-year-old, he's been successful when given an opportunity, slashing .301/.333/.391 in 48 plate appearances this season. His spot on the 26-man roster is expected to go to Luis Vazquez while Gavin Hollowell -- who was claimed off waivers from Arizona -- takes Bote's spot on the 40-man roster. The utility player should garner some interest on waivers.

Luis Vázquez - Promotion incomingThe Cubs are expected to recall Vazquez from Triple-A Iowa, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactVazquez, 24, was up briefly with the Cubs earlier this season, striking out in his lone plate appearance. He's slashed .263/.347/.432 with eight homers at Iowa this season and boasts a 1.095 OPS in seven games this month after returning from an undisclosed injury. Vazquez is primarily a shortstop but also has played second and third base. It's not clear whose roster spot he will be taking.

Colt Keith - Reaches twice, scores in lossKeith went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.

ImpactKeith was the only Detroit player with multiple hits as the team finished with just five hits overall in a sluggish performance. The rookie continues to have a solid campaign following a slow start to the season, as he's now batting .258 overall after finishing April with just a .154 average. Keith has plenty of room for further growth, making the 23-year-old a potential 2025 breakout candidate.

Ryan Kreidler - Might be added to rosterKreidler has joined the Tigers in Chicago for their series versus the Cubs and could be added to the roster if Javier Baez needs to go on the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of...

ImpactBaez is undergoing tests for an undisclosed injury and the club has summoned Kreidler in case a transaction is needed. Kreidler could get some reps at shortstop versus lefties if Baez needs to miss time, but Trey Sweeney would be in line for the bulk of the starts at the position.
