DFA'd to make room for Suzuki The Cubs designated Carlson for assignment Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The move clears room on the 26-man roster for Seiya Suzuki, who was activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move Friday. Carlson went 0-for-4 with one run scored and a pair of strikeouts across four plate appearances with Chicago.

Activated from injured list The Cubs activated Suzuki (knee) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Suzuki will be available to make his season debut Friday against the Pirates after he suffered his right knee strain with Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic back on March 14. In total, Suzuki missed the Cubs' first 12 games of the season. His return should mean less playing time for Michael Conforto.

Sent to injured list The Cubs placed Maton on the 15-day injured list with right knee tendinitis Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact With Maton headed to the IL, Ethan Roberts has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa to take Maton's spot in the bullpen. Maton has an ugly 13.50 ERA, 2.50 WHIP and 5:4 K:BB across four innings.

Solid showing in win Rea (1-0) allowed one run on two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Rays on Wednesday.

Impact Rea had worked in long relief for his first two outings of the season, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. The right-hander has started at least 22 games in three straight seasons, so it shouldn't take him long to adjust, though it's unclear if he'll be the Cubs' long-term solution at the back of the rotation. He threw 51 of 79 pitches for strikes in this outing. Rea doesn't have great strikeout rates in his career, though he has a 10:3 K:BB through 11.1 innings so far this season. Assuming he remains in the rotation for another turn, he's tentatively lined up for a tough road start versus the Phillies.

Doubles, scores in win Kelly went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rays.

Impact Kelly extended his hitting streak to four games with the multi-hit effort, and he's now batting .281 for the season with a .705 OPS. The veteran catcher has appeared in 10 games so far, with Miguel Amaya appearing in seven. Kelly has the slight edge for playing time at the moment, though the Cubs can get both bats in the lineup by having one or the other serve as the DH and relying on Moises Ballesteros to serve as the backup behind the plate.

Hits leadoff home run Wednesday Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rays.

Impact Hoerner has been hot to start the season, and for the second straight day, the Cubs rewarded the speedy infielder by batting him leadoff. It was also the second straight game that he batted first despite facing a righty starter, bumping Michael Busch down in the order. Hoerner responded Wednesday with a leadoff home run, which was his first long ball of the year. As long as Hoerner stays locked in at the plate, he figures to stick as Chicago's leadoff hitter against both righties and lefties for the foreseeable future.
