The Cubs' top-ranked prospect has hit well in the minors after struggling in a season-opening stint as the big league team's third baseman.

When the Cubs sent Matt Shaw down to Triple A in the middle of April, the hope was that it wouldn’t be a long stint with Iowa. The Cubs knew it would be hard to address their hole at third base in any other way than internally.

The Chicago Cubs have surged to a winning record and a division lead after a busy offseason. The front office opted to trade away Cody Bellinger and bring in Kyle Tucker in a move that has paid strong dividends so far this season.
