Moisés Ballesteros - On bench vs. righty in Game 1 Ballesteros is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Impact It's the third straight game on the bench for Ballesteros after he started the first five games of the season. The previous two absences came against a lefty starter, but right-hander Slade Cecconi is taking the ball in Game 1 for Cleveland on Sunday. Alex Bregman is resting his legs as the designated hitter, opening up a spot in the lineup for Michael Conforto.

Ethan Roberts - Promoted for doubleheader The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact The right-hander failed to make Chicago's Opening Day roster will receive a look in the majors during Sunday's twin bill. Roberts allowed six earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 10 big-league appearances last season.

Riley Martin - Joins big club The Cubs recalled Martin from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact The left-hander is taking the roster spot of Cade Horton (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Martin has yet to make his MLB debut but pitched well at Triple-A Iowa last year with a 2.71 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 80:35 K:BB across 63 innings (46 appearances).

Cade Horton - Officially placed on IL The Cubs placed Horton (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right forearm strain, retroactive to April 4, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact The right-hander departed Friday's start against Cleveland due to forearm discomfort, and manager Craig Counsell announced after the game that an IL stint would be necessary. Horton has since been diagnosed with a strain, the severity of which is unclear. He'll be eligible to be reinstated April 19, but a longer absence wouldn't be surprising given the nature of the injury. Colin Rea is the likely candidate to step into the Cubs' starting rotation, but Javier Assad should also be in the mix.

Javier Assad - Could be needed for MLB rotation With Cade Horton (forearm) set to land on the injured list, Assad is an option to get promoted from the minors and fill the rotation spot, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Horton departed Friday's contest after only an inning of work due to right forearm discomfort, and he will be examined more fully to determine the extent of the injury. Following a rain out Saturday, the Cubs don't have to worry about Horton's spot in the rotation again until Wednesday. Assad is a candidate to get the call from Triple-A Iowa, though it appears to be more likely that Colin Rea moves over from the MLB bullpen and into the rotation. Even if Assad isn't needed right away, the Horton injury does move him closer to a promotion if any other Chicago pitchers go down or if Rea is ineffective filling in.

Riley Martin - Expected to be called up Martin is expected to be called up from Triple-A Iowa to take the roster spot of Cade Horton (forearm), who is set to land on the injured list, Jordan Bastian and Jason Foster of M...

Impact Martin joined the Cubs at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Saturday and was expected to be called up then to replace Horton, who departed Friday's contest with right forearm discomfort, but the game was rained out and Chicago didn't have to make any roster moves. The Cubs get a 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader, though it appears that Martin may get a shot to stick around into next week. The lefty reliever has been in the organization since 2021 but has yet to make his MLB debut. He would likely fill a middle relief role, with one of Ben Brown or Colin Rea expected to move from the bullpen into the rotation with Horton out.

The 32-year-old southpaw will be looking to bounce back from a poor showing in his season debut, during which he allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks over five innings.
