Cubs' Jonathon Long: Back in action at Triple-A
Long (leg) struck out in a pinch-hit appearance Tuesday in Triple-A Iowa's 3-2 loss to Columbus.
Long exited Iowa's game Saturday due to a tight leg muscle, and then sat out Sunday. After a team off day Monday, Long remained out of the lineup Tuesday, but his usage off the bench suggests that he'll avoid a stint on the 7-day injured list. It's unclear how soon he might resume playing either corner-infield spot, but Iowa could deploy him at designated hitter to keep his bat in the lineup. The 23-year-old is slashing .368/.429/.533 with a 9.5 percent walk rate and 25.3 percent strikeout rate in his first season at Triple-A.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Giving way to Amaya on Wednesday
Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
With Miguel Amaya running hot at the plate of late, Cubs manager Craig Counsell has turned the catcher spot into more of a timeshare. Kelly will take a seat for the second time in the series while Amaya gets a chance to build on the five-RBI performance he delivered in Monday's 8-7 loss.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Drives in four in rout
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Marlins.
The game was tied 1-1 until the Cubs erupted for eight runs in the sixth inning, with Suzuki's two-run blast on a Lake Bachar fastball capping the offensive outburst. It was Suzuki's 12th third long ball of the year and his third in the last eight games, a stretch in which he's batting .300 (9-for-30) with four doubles, six runs and 11 RBI.

Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Launches 11th homer
Tucker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Marlins.
The 28-year-old outfielder produced his first three-hit effort since April 22, while his first-inning long ball off Ryan Weathers snapped a brief nine-game homerless drought. Tucker has slowed down in May, but on the season he still sports a .268/.381/.532 slash line with 11 home runs, 13 steals, 34 RBI and 37 runs in 49 contests.

Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Cruises to third win
Taillon (3-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 14-1 rout of the Marlins, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out two.
A solo shot by Nick Fortes in the third inning was the only blemish on Taillon's line, as he delivered his second straight quality start against Miami and his sixth of the season in 10 trips to the mound. Keeping the ball in the yard remains a serious concern for the right-hander, however -- he's served up nine homers in his last four starts, fueling a 4.30 ERA over that stretch despite a 1.09 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 23 innings. Taillon gets a soft matchup for his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Rockies.

Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Recalled from Triple-A
The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
Roberts is back in the majors after the Cubs placed Porter Hodge (oblique) on the 15-day injured list. Roberts has appeared in nine games for Chicago this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 6:2 KBB across 8.1 innings of work out of the bullpen.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Optioned to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Ballesteros to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
With Ian Happ (oblique) back from the 10-day IL, Ballesteros is headed back to the minors. Across his first 18 big-league plate appearances, Ballesteros slashed .188/.278/.188 with zero extra-base hits, three RBI, three runs scored and a 2:1 BB:K.

Cubs' Porter Hodge: Officially placed on 15-day IL
The Cubs placed Hodge (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Hodge has been diagnosed with a left oblique strain and will miss at least the next couple weeks. In a corresponding move, the Cubs recalled Ethan Roberts from Triple-A Iowa. With Hodge sidelined, Daniel Palencia got the save chance Monday against the Marlins but blew it, surrendering a pair of earned runs on two hits and one walk across two-thirds of an inning. Ryan Pressly should also vie for save opportunities.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Officially activated from IL
The Cubs activated Happ (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Happ missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list after last playing May 9. In Happ's absence, Pete Crow-Armstrong has moved up to the leadoff spot for the Cubs and produced big numbers, so it will be interesting to see how manager Craig Counsell sorts out his order moving forward. Prior to his injury, Happ slashed .269/.364/.381 with three home runs, 19 RBI, 29 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 24:35 BB:K across 187 trips to the plate.

Cubs' Ian Happ: Will return from IL Tuesday
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said on 670 The Score that Happ (oblique) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Manager Craig Counsell said previously that Happ would return at some point during the team's series against the Marlins, and Hoyer has confirmed Happ will be activated Tuesday. The outfielder has missed the minimum 10 days while recovering from a left oblique strain. Moises Ballesteros is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Cubs' Moises Ballesteros: Expected to be sent back to minors
The Cubs will option Ballesteros to Triple-A Iowa prior to Tuesday's game in Miami, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
It's expected to be the corresponding move for Ian Happ's (oblique) return from the 10-day injured list. With Happ back in the fold and Seiya Suzuki returning to the designated-hitter spot, Ballesteros' playing time would have been cut dramatically. Instead, he will head back to Iowa, where he can play regularly. The rookie went 3-for-16 with three RBI and a 1:2 K:BB over five games during his first stint in the big leagues.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Slugs homer, plates five
Amaya went 2-for-3 with a homer, a double, five RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.
The 26-year-old went yard for the fourth time this season with a three-run homer off Miami starter Edward Cabrera in the fourth. Amaya then returned in the sixth inning to knot the game at 6-6 with a two-RBI double, his ninth two-bagger of the season. Although Amaya is not the everyday catcher in Chicago, he has been a solid contributor at the plate when playing with a .287/.323/.529 slash line through 94 plate appearances.

Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Blows save, takes loss
Palencia (0-1) blew the save and took the loss in Monday's game at Miami. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning with one strikeout.
Palencia was called upon for his first save opportunity of the season with a 7-6 lead in the ninth as Porter Hodge (oblique) was unavailable. After collecting the first two outs, Palencia fell apart, consecutively conceding a double, a walk and a walk-off triple. The Chicago right-hander had been a steady reliever prior to this performance, pitching to a 1.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 15 innings. If Hodge is bound for a lengthy absence, Palencia will likely remain in the mix for saves along with Drew Pomeranz and Ryan Pressly.

Cubs' Ben Brown: Unravels in no-decision
Brown took a no-decision in Monday's 8-7 loss at Miami, allowing six runs on seven hits and no walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out eight.
Things were rough out the gate for Brown, as he yielded back-to-back homers to Jesus Sanchez and Agustin Ramirez to open the first frame. The Chicago right-hander was then cruising, as evidenced by his impressive 16 whiffs in 83 total pitches, until the fifth inning, when the Marlins plated four additional runs. Brown's inconsistent season continues with his ERA now standing at 5.44 through 46.1 innings; however, the 25-year-old has also pitched to a 3.50 FIP and 58:16 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at Cincinnati this weekend.

Cubs' Porter Hodge: Will require stint on IL
Hodge has suffered a left oblique injury and will be placed on the 15-day injured list, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Hodge last pitched Saturday against the White Sox, tossing a scoreless frame in the victory, but he evidently picked up the oblique injury at some point along the way. The club will need to rely on another arm in save opportunities while Hodge recovers, likely leaving Ryan Pressly as the team's top option moving forward.
