Spring training roster changes are upon us, with the Cubs removing four players from the major league camp roster on Wednesday afternoon.
These moves were all expected, with Owen Caissie, Brett Bateman, and Brandon Birdsell all being injured at the moment. Bateman is scheduled to undergo hamate surgery on his hamate this week and Birdsell will be shut down for a couple more weeks. Caissie’s status is unknown, although he has not participated in baseball activities for a few days due to a groin strain and doesn’t seem close to appearing in games.
