Cubs' Addison Russell (suspension) to begin playing games in Triple-A on Wednesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Addison Russell (suspension) will begin playing games for Triple-A affiliate the Iowa Cubs and Wednesday.
What It Means:
Russell is serving his 40-game suspension but will be able to get in some minor league action as he prepares for a return to the big league roster around May 3. When he is available, Russell is not expected to get back his full-time job as Javy Baez has taken over starting shortstop duties.
Our models project Russell for a .247 average with 8 homers and 37 RBI over 322 plate appearances this season.
