Cubs Shuffle Roster as Cabrera and Swanson Hit IL

The Chicago Cubs placed right-hander Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister and shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain. James Triantos was optioned to Triple-A Iowa, while Javier Assad and Kevin Alcántara were recalled and Owen Miller was added to the roster; Daniel Palencia was moved to the 60-day IL to clear space. With Swanson out for several weeks, Nico Hoerner will handle shortstop and Pedro Ramírez will get more time at second, with Miller providing bench depth. Cabrera, who had just returned from a hamstring issue, is expected to be used in shorter stints upon his return, likely in September, due to his blister history. Palencia’s 60-day move is procedural as he nears reinstatement from elbow inflammation.
