Chicago Cubs

Happy Easter Sunday! Happy Masters Sunday! Happy gameday!

It's a good day today and as such, there is plenty of good news coming out of the Chicago Cubs camp today.

After wining 10-3 over the Texas Rangers on Saturday, we got news this morning that Seiya Suzuki will DH for Triple-A Iowa Cubs today according to multiple reports. This is appears to be one of the final steps before he returns to MLB action. 

Just how good can this team get with him back in the lineup?

Brandon Hughes also pitched for Iowa yesterday. He reportedly felt good and will pitch again early this week. 

Finally, starter Kyle Hendricks will throw another bullpen on Monday.

Getting these three players back would significantly reinforce the roster as the Cubs are showing they have every intention of being contenders this season. 

They play the final game of three against the Texas Rangers today at 1:20 p.m. CT.
