Drives in run in debut Mervis went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over the Marlins.
Impact Getting the start at first base and batting seventh, Mervis didn't have an eye-popping big-league debut but did bring home Cody Bellinger with a single in the eighth inning for the game's final run. Mervis figures to hold down a regular spot in the lineup as the Cubs see what their top hitting prospect can do, but if the 25-year-old does stumble out of the game, Trey Mancini and Eric Hosmer remain available to cut into his workload -- at least for the moment.

Call him M*A*S*H, Bris-zo or The Big ROI, but Matt Mervis is here to help the Cubs Mervis’ debut didn’t quite have the buzz of Anthony Rizzo’s, but it wasn’t far behind. Could the Team Israel alum be Cubs' next big thing?
