As noted here Monday, the Cubs acquired Franmil Reyes off waivers from the Guardians. The move filled the Cubs’ 40-man roster, but Reyes was not placed on the active roster Monday, likely because he hadn’t made it to Chicago yet.
After Monday’s game, the Cubs made this announcement:
The Cubs have optioned 1B Frank Schwindel to Triple-A Iowa after tonight’s game. While Franmil Reyes hasn’t been officially added to roster, that move opens up the spot.

The Cubs announced Tuesday that this was in fact official, that Reyes has been added to the active roster, replacing Schwindel.
