Alexander Canario Joining Cubs In Baltimore
5 months agoChicago Cubs Triple-A outfielder Alexander Canario is headed to Baltimore on Thursday to join the big-league roster, which could mean that outfielder Cody Bellinger (finger) is heading to the 10-day injured list after getting hit by a pitch on his hand on Wednesday. An injured-list stint for Bellinger would surely complicate his trade market with the July 30 trade deadline quickly approaching. The 24-year-old Canario made his big-league debut in 2023 and played in 13 games earlier this year before being sent to Iowa. He's hit .282 (11-for-39) with two home runs and eight RBI in 19 career games for the Cubs but will likely operate as outfield depth if Bellinger goes on the IL. Rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong figures to serve as the team's everyday center fielder if Bellinger needs time to rest his injured finger.
