Playing catch again Bote (shoulder) was spotted playing catch at big-league camp Thursday, Scott Changnon of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The activity marks another small step forward in the recovery process for Bote, who is working his way back from November surgery on his left shoulder. After being placed on the 60-day injured list last weekend, Bote will be sidelined for at least the first two months of the season. Once healthy, Bote will likely fill a utility role for the Cubs.

Placed on 60-day IL Bote (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bote had already been ruled out for the first month of the season due to his left shoulder surgery that he underwent during the offseason, and he'll be unable to make his 2022 debut until at least early June. Once the 28-year-old returns to full health, he'll have to compete for at-bats since the Cubs now have Andrelton Simmons, Nick Madrigal (hamstring) and Jonathan Villar in the fold.

Cubs' Hoyer says team wants to 'add a lot more players'

Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer and new general manager Carter Hawkins are working the phones as the team begins spring training

MARCH 14, 2022 • Associated Press

Out for first month Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer confirmed Monday that Bote will open the season on the injured list following offseason left shoulder surgery, Tim Stebbins of NBC S...

Impact Hoyer implied that Bote will miss at least the first month of the season, as he merely said, "We'll see," when asked if the utility infielder would be ready to return by May. The Cubs' recent signing of Andrelton Simmons along with Nick Madrigal's return from a hamstring injury that prevented him from making his team debut in 2021 following his July acquisition from the White Sox likely means that Bote won't have a clear path to steady at-bats whenever he's healthy.

To miss start of season Bote has a six-month timeline to recover from shoulder surgery and will miss the beginning of the 2022 season as a result, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Bote underwent the surgery in early November, so a full six months would place his return in roughly early May. He reportedly played through the injury for much of last season and hit .199/.276/.330 line across 327 plate appearances. It remains to be seen what his role on the team may be, pending any moves made in the offseason by Chicago.

Recovering from shoulder surgery President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said Tuesday that Bote recently underwent surgery on his left shoulder, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bote separated his left shoulder in late May and was limited to 97 games this season, but he often attempted to play through the injury. The 28-year-old struggled offensively with a .199/.276/.330 slash line. Bote doesn't yet have an official recovery timeline, but he has more than three months before the start of spring training.

Lands on injured list Bote (shoulder) was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bote exited Thursday's win over Pittsburgh due to an apparent left shoulder injury, but his placement on the IL without a designation signals that he's likely on the COVID-19 IL. It's not yet clear whether he'll return during the final few days of the regular season, but Trent Giambrone will likely be in line for increased playing time while Bote is sidelined.

Nabs fourth straight start Bote will start at second base and bat seventh Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Bote has mostly served as a utility man over the past month, but he's poised to finish the season as a near-everyday player after Patrick Wisdom (wrist) was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Wednesday. With Matt Duffy moving over to Wisdom's usual post at third base, Bote will cover the keystone for the fourth straight contest. He went a collective 3-for-9 with a triple, a walk, an RBI and a run in Chicago's previous three games.

Scores twice, drives in run Sunday Bote went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact It was good to see some production from Bote, as he hadn't collected an RBI or scored a run since Aug. 25. The infielder has been struggling all season with just a .594 OPS, but he should continue to see plenty of playing time the rest of the way because the rebuilding Cubs don't have a ton of established options.
