David Bote - Ready to resume rehab assignmentBote (shoulder/head) has been cleared to resume working out at Triple-A Iowa and could restart his rehab assignment this weekend, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ImpactBote has been on the shelf all season while recovering from the left shoulder surgery he underwent last November, but it was bouts of dizziness that resulted in him being pulled off his rehab assignment earlier this month. After a two-week respite, Bote's dizzy spells have apparently subsided, so he should soon rejoin the Iowa lineup. The Cubs may want to see Bote experience some more success at Triple-A before activating him; through his first 12 games on assignment, Bote produced a mediocre .497 OPS.

Jonathan Villar - Filling in for ailing MadrigalVillar will start at second base and bat eighth Tuesday against the Padres.
ImpactVillar will make his third consecutive start at the keystone, but his playing time will likely take a hit in the near future as long as Nick Madrigal (groin) is able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Once Madrigal is back in action, Villar is expected to move into a utility role.

Austin Nola - Returns to benchNola will sit Tuesday against the Cubs.
ImpactThe Padres have been remarkably consistent in how they've deployed their catchers in recent weeks. Nola and Jorge Alfaro have alternated turns behind the plate for 20 consecutive games. Alfaro starts Tuesday, but Nola should return to the lineup Wednesday if the pattern holds.
