With their depth being tested, the Chicago Cubs signed veteran infielder Dee Strange-Gordon to a Minor League deal on Wednesday.
Nico Hoerner strained his hamstring on Tuesday night and will be out indefinitely. That leaves the second base depth hanging by a string with David Bote and Eric Sogard. Bote is getting the bulk of playing time at third base with Matt Duffy also on the IL and Kris Bryant moving around the field consistently.
The Cubs’ signing of Gordon comes about three months too late, as he should have been the one signed over Sogard the whole time.
