Report: Cubs Promoting OF Prospect Kevin Alcántara

According to a report from Mike Rodriguez on X, the Cubs are promoting Kevin Alcántara. Ranked at No. 5 on MLB Pipeline’s list of the top 30 Cubs prospects, Alcántara actually debuted late last season and picked up a single in 10 plate appearances.

Alcántara could very well be one of the September call-ups activated on Monday, with his outfield versatility allowing him to play multiple positions. He has an .819 OPS in Triple-A this year, along with 17 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 430 plate appearances. Even if he’s used as infrequently as Owen Caissie has been, the youth movement in Chicago generates some excitement.
