Benjamin Cowles: Breaking News

Sent outright to Triple-A

The Cubs outrighted Cowles to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday. After being booted off the 40-man roster last week, Cowles has passed through waivers unclaimed. He will remain in the organization as infield depth.

Jettisoned from 40-man roster

The Cubs designated Cowles for assignment Tuesday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports. The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Doug Nikhazy. Cowles has slashed .232/.333/.377 this season with Triple-A Iowa.

Demoted to Iowa

The Cubs optioned Cowles to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday. Cowles opened spring training in the Blue Jays organization, but for the second time in less than two months, he ended up reuniting with the Cubs, who claimed him off waivers last week. The 26-year-old is expected to handle an everyday role in Iowa to begin the season and could receive his first big-league call-up if the Cubs require an extra infielder at any point.
