Signing Edwin Rios gives Cubs another option at third base The Cubs signed free-agent Edwin Rios on Friday and the former Dodger is expected to compete for playing time at third base.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • DAILYHERALD.COM

Inks one-year deal with CHC Rios signed a one-year major-league contract Friday with the Cubs, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The deal is worth $1 million. Rios was non-tendered by the Dodgers back in November after logging only 92 plate appearances at the big-league level in 2022. He's shown impressive raw power at times, but the 28-year-old corner infielder will lug a career .219 batting average and .299 on-base percentage down to Cubs camp in Arizona. He'll likely serve as a bench bat that sees most of his playing time at third base, first base and DH.

Non-tendered by Dodgers The Dodgers declined to tender Rios a contract for 2023, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman explained that the decision with Rios came down to "fit" on the roster with fellow lefty bats James Outman and Michael Busch having emerged on the 40-man roster. Rios has incredible raw power and posted some eye-popping batted-ball metrics in the minors, so he could be an interesting flier for a second-division team.

Dodgers Writer Sees Edwin Rios as a Potential Trade Candidate There isn’t much room for the Dodgers to make trades

Activated and optioned The Dodgers reinstated Rios (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Tuesday marked the 20th and final day of Rios' rehab evaluation window in the minors, so the Dodgers were forced to activate him even though the team didn't have a spot on the 26-man active roster readily available. During his rehab assignment, Rios looked to be fully back in form after a prolonged absence due to a right hamstring strain, as he slashed .302/.387/.453 over a 14-game stint at Oklahoma City. Considering that Rios posted a strong .793 OPS in 92 plate appearances with the Dodgers prior to landing on the IL, he should be the top option for a promotion if the big club needs an extra position player at any point.

Set for lengthy rehab Rios (hamstring) will spend at least two weeks on his rehab assignment, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Rios began a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and has tallied three plate appearances since. He's still a few weeks away from a return, with mid-August looking like a realistic goal for his activation. Rios hit .244/.293/.500 across 92 plate appearances prior to going down, though it's not clear how he'll fit into the Dodgers' plans upon his return.
