@GDubCub: Cubs say Soler hurt his left hamstring.
Probably a return of Kawasaki
Bryant will be playing LF with Baez and LaStella sharing 3B

Could very well be Alcantara instead of Kawasaki. More versatility and he's earned a call up.

I'm probably Alcantara's biggest fan here but I can't imagine he getting the call up right now. He's playing better but he still has a 27.8% k rate in AAA. He's unlikely to play every day in the majors if called upon and that feels like it would set him back when he still has work to do. Even if we just look at the last 90 days where he's hitting 300/.344/.467, he still has a 27.1% k rate.
As we've seen with Baez lately making that sort of adjustment to fix contact issues generally isn't as seamless as say Bryant has made it look. I think the play here is you leave Alcantara in the minors for most of the year and hopefully let him work through some of that. If you want to call him up in August, I'm ok with that but I'd rather seem him have a few more months to work through stuff in AAA especially since he's starting to come around.

What was Maddon thinking taking Lester out of a game with less than 100 pitches? Yikes.

Grimm just thought Rondon didn't have enough appearance this year so he helped a brother out.
