The Chicago Cubs promoted infield prospect Pedro Ramírez from Triple-A Iowa on the same day they placed infielder Matt Shaw on the 10-day injured list with back tightness.
The move came ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Houston Astros. Ramírez, the Cubs’ No. 2 prospect and ranked No. 85 overall by MLB Pipeline, earned the call after slashing .312/.395/.547 with nine home runs in 43 games at Iowa this season.
The Chicago Cubs intend to activate infielder Matt Shaw from the injured list before their series against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Tuesday. The move was reported by ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, though the team has not confirmed it.
