The Cubs have called up Luis Vázquez from their minor league system to provide defensive support for the team. Vázquez, who has shown improvement in his offensive game as well, is known for his defensive skills and will bring versatility to the Cubs’ infield by being able to play multiple positions. The addition of Vázquez could help shore up some of the team’s defensive deficiencies.
Nico Hoerner has been dealing with a left hamstring injury, which has caused him to miss the last six games. However, it is expected that he will return to the lineup on Tuesday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Despite their struggles defensively this season, ranking near the bottom of the league in both Outs Above Average and defensive runs saved, the Cubs are optimistic about their chances of improving their performance with Vázquez’s addition.
Vázquez hails from Orocovis and will be a source of pride for his family as he joins the Cubs in the major leagues. Fans are excited to see what he can do in his new role with the team, and he has shown promise both at the plate and in the field. The addition of Vázquez will give the Cubs more depth and options in their infield, which will be important as they look to improve their defensive performance overall.
