Heads back to Triple-A Fargas was returned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fargas appeared in 15 major-league games after he was claimed off waivers by the Cubs in July, and he slashed .226/.250/.290 with three runs, two RBI and a stolen base during that time. However, the 26-year-old will now be removed from the 40-man roster.

Contract selected Friday Fargas' contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fargas was outrighted to the minors in late August, and he slashed .230/.269/.392 with two homers, 11 runs, six RBI and four stolen bases across 21 appearances in Iowa since then. He'll serve as outfield depth after Nick Martini (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday.

Remains in organization Fargas cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Fargas was designated for assignment Wednesday, and he'll remain in the organization at Triple-A Iowa. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games at the Triple-A level this year, and he's hit .275 with a homer, nine runs, three RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Removed from 40-man roster The Cubs designated Fargas for assignment Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fargas was a casualty from the 40-man roster after the Cubs needed to create a spot for their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Adrian Sampson, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Iowa. After coming over from the Mets in late July on a waiver claim, Fargas appeared in 13 games for Chicago and hit .269 with one stolen base. Michael Hermosillo should serve as the Cubs' clear fourth outfielder now that Fargas is out of the picture.

Impact Fargas was claimed off waivers from the Mets last week, and he'll join the major-league club as outfield depth following Friday's trade deadline. The 26-year-old appeared in seven games for the Mets this year and went 6-for-21 with four extra-base hits, three RBI and a run.

Claimed by Cubs Fargas was claimed off waivers by the Cubs on Friday and subsequently optioned to Triple-A Iowa.

Impact Fargas was designated for assignment by the Mets earlier this week, but he'll remain on a 40-man roster with the Cubs. The 26-year-old went 6-for-21 with three doubles and three RBI in seven big-league games this season, and he otherwise split time between the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

Designated for assignment Fargas was designated for assignment Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Fargas has appeared in seven big-league games this season, going 6-for-21 at the plate. He hit the injured list with a shoulder issue in late May and was optioned as soon as he got healthy in mid-July. He'll remain in an organizational depth role for the Mets if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Sent to minors The Mets activated Fargas (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Double-A Binghamton.

Impact After the Mets lost several key outfielders to the injured list early in the season, Fargas was summoned from the minors in mid-May to provide the big club with a healthy body. He lasted only seven games before succumbing to an injury of his own, a sprained left shoulder. Fargas was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in late June, and after seeing action in eight games in the minors, the 26-year-old looks to be healthy again. However, with the Mets having since returned most of their regulars to the lineup, Fargas won't be needed at the big-league level.

Ready for rehab assignment Fargas (shoulder) was sent to the Mets' Florida Complex League affiliate Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment, Jacob Resnick of SNY.tv reports.

Impact After receiving his first big-league call-up May 17, the 26-year-old outfielder went 6-for-21 across seven games before landing on the injured list with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. Fargas is ready to play again after a month-long shutdown, but expect him to remain on an extended rehab assignment now that the Mets have since returned multiple outfielders from the IL in recent weeks. Once activated, Fargas will likely be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.
