Cubs demote Kyle Schwarber to Triple-A Iowa
The Chicago Cubs optioned outfielder Kyle Schwarber to Triple-A Iowa, per David Kaplan of CSN Chicago.
What It Means:
Schwarber has struggled to find consistency at the plate this season and been a huge negative defensively, even in the relatively easy spot of left field. The 24-year-old Schwarber holds a weak .171/.295/.378 triple slash line, though he has cranked 12 home runs in 261 plate appearances thus far.
Prior to this news, our models projected Schwarber to hit .220 over 246 more plate appearances in 2017, with 8 home runs, 24 runs, and 28 RBI.
