Some news down in Myrtle Beach. Outfielder (and my 2nd-ranked Cubs prospect) Kevin Alcantara was assigned to the Pelicans. To make room, pitcher Jose Albertos was placed on the 7-day injured list.
Also, for those of you wondering why Pete Crow-Armstrong hasn’t been playing, he played his first official game as a Cub tonight.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs plucked the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 8-5 to win their home opener.
Robert Gsellman started for the I-Cubs and threw three perfect innings.
