Sent to minor-league camp
The Cubs reassigned Bote to minor-league camp Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bote slugged five home runs during Cactus League play, but he came into camp with little chance at a roster spot. The 30-year-old spent all of the 2023 season at Triple-A Iowa and will head back there to start 2024. Bote is in the final season of a five-year, $15 million extension he signed with the Cubs in April 2019, but he hasn't seen any big-league action since 2022 after being moved off the 40-man roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starting at hot corner recently
Including Wednesday's game, Bote has started five of the last six games at third base for the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Bote was recalled from Triple-A Iowa at the beginning of the month and is 9-for-32 with two home runs in his last nine starts. The 29-year-old has served as a utility man for the Cubs over the last five seasons, but he struggled mightily at the plate the last two seasons and missed the majority of this year with a shoulder injury and bouts of dizziness. He's fanned in 39 percent of his plate appearances this year and was demoted in August, causing some to speculate whether he's fallen out of favor in Chicago. With the recent playing time at the hot corner, it appears the Cubs are giving him a shot to prove he's worthy of a future roster spot.

2019
It was mostly a lost season for Bote in 2022, and he finished it by getting outrighted to Triple-A Iowa in November, which removes him from the 40-man roster heading into 2023. The utility player didn't make his season debut until late June due to shoulder surgery the previous offseason, and shoulder issues continued to hamper him throughout the year. Bote ended up playing in a career-low 41 games for the Cubs and appeared in nearly as many games at Triple-A (38). When healthy and playing more regularly, Bote has provided some value as a versatile defender who can occasionally offer some pop as well. His best season came in 2019, when he registered career bests with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and a .784 OPS across 127 games. That looks like a distant memory as he enters his age-30 season, as the likes of Nico Hoerner, Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom figure to absorb most of Bote's potential playing time. He figures to be organizational depth in 2023 with limited fantasy appeal.
