Cubs Re-Sign Dylan Carlson to Minor-League Deal, Return Him to Triple-A Iowa

The former top prospect gives Chicago experienced depth behind a settled major-league outfield.

Overview

Carlson played for Triple-A Iowa on Sunday after rejoining the Cubs on a minor-league contract.
He elected free agency last week following a designation for assignment, then returned on a new deal.
The 27-year-old went 0-for-4 in his brief stint with the big-league club earlier this season.
With Seiya Suzuki, Ian Happ, and Pete Crow-Armstrong set in the outfield, Carlson projects as depth.
Prospects Kevin Alcantara and Justin Dean already hold 40-man spots, and Carlson’s bat has trended down since his strong 2021 season.
