Moisés Ballesteros - Resting up Tuesday Ballesteros isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado.

Impact Ballesteros will retreat to the bench Tuesday after going just 2-for-14 across his last five games. His absence will give Seiya Suzuki a start as the Cubs' designated hitter, opening up right field for Matt Shaw.

Gavin Hollowell - Back in big-league bullpen The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hollowell was knocked around for two runs on two hits and four walks over 1.2 innings in his lone appearance with the Cubs earlier this season. He will be utilized in low-leverage situations.

Daniel Palencia - Placed on IL with inflamed elbow The Cubs placed Palencia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Palencia picked up the win Monday versus the Rockies, tossing a scoreless top of the ninth inning before the Cubs walked it off in the bottom of the frame. However, he's now on the IL for the second time this season after missing time earlier this year with a lat strain. The Cubs could lean on a committee approach at closer while Palencia is sidelined, with Caleb Thielbar, Phil Maton and Jacob Webb all in the mix.

Javier Assad - Drawing another start Assad is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies at Wrigley Field.

Impact After spinning 6.1 scoreless innings of long relief June 7 against the Giants in Chicago following Jameson Taillon's (hamstring) early exit, Assad ended up taking over as the Cubs' new No. 5 starter last week following Taillon's move to injured list. Assad thrived again in a matchup with a weak Giants offense -- this time in San Francisco -- striking out five batters over six shutout frames en route to picking up his fourth win of the season. The right-hander will get another favorable matchup for his upcoming turn, but Assad's standing in the rotation will be murky following Wednesday's outing. After a recent setback, Matthew Boyd (knee/shoulder) was able to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, and he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to replace Assad in the rotation the next time the Cubs need a fifth starter.

Matt Shaw - Draws walk-off walk Shaw went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Shaw picked up a pair of hits, including an RBI triple in the sixth inning, but it was his walk with the bases loaded in the ninth inning that made him the hero of the Cubs' walk-off win. Manning right field, Monday marked the 24-year-old's first start since being reinstated from the injured list Tuesday. Shaw's defensive versatility opens the door for him to fill in at multiple positions, though there isn't a clear path to an everyday role at the moment. Across 113 plate appearances this season, the 2023 first-round pick is slashing .255/.313/.422 with 10 extra-base hits (three homers), 14 RBI, 11 runs and three stolen bases.

Shota Imanaga - Solid in no-decision Imanaga did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against Colorado. He struck out three.

Impact Imanaga kept Colorado off the board through the first five frames before departing with two outs in the sixth inning after throwing 85 pitches (62 strikes). One of the two runners he left aboard eventually came around to score as Phil Maton closed out the frame. Monday marked a second consecutive solid outing for Imanaga after a four-start stretch in which he surrendered 26 runs across 21.2 innings. Overall, the southpaw owns a 4-6 record with a 4.26 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 84:22 K:BB across 86.2 innings (15 starts). His next outing is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against Toronto.
