Enters lineup Saturday Marisnick is starting in center field and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Marisnick picks up his first start of the season as Ian Happ heads to the bench. Pittsburgh is starting lefty Tyler Anderson, but Happ is a switch hitter, so this likely isn't a pure platoon situation and Happ should start most days moving forward. Still, this is something to keep an eye on, as Marisnick would certainly have more fantasy value if he earns more regular playing time. Chicago manager David Ross said he didn't want Marisnick to get "stale" after a productive spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Playing outfield Monday Marisnick (calf) will start in right field and will bat fifth in Monday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Marisnick's strained calf felt fine while he served as a designated hitter in a "B" game over the weekend, prompting the Cubs to clear him for his usual duties in the outfield. The 29-year-old is expected to begin the season as Chicago's fourth or fifth outfielder, with Joc Pederson, Ian Happ and Jason Heyward seemingly locked in as the team's everyday starters from left to right.

Feels good as DH Marisnick (calf) said his leg felt "really good" after appearing as the designated hitter in a "B" game Saturday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Marisnick led off each of the first five innings, and he delivered three hits, including a double. The outfielder said he had no problems afterward, so the Cubs will likely try to get him back on the field during a Cactus League game soon. Marisnick projects as the team's fourth outfielder this season behind the starting trio of Joc Pederson, Ian Happ and Jason Heyward.

Playing in 'B' game Marisnick (calf) will appear in a "B" game Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Marisnick dealt with a calf strain over the past week, but he'll get some playing time during a live game Saturday. If all goes well, Marisnick's next step would likely be to return to the Cactus League lineup in the near future.

Could play next week Manager David Ross said Monday that the Cubs are targeting March 13 to March 15 for Marisnick's (calf) return to the Cactus League lineup, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marisnick was shut down last week after experiencing some calf discomfort, but the Cubs are viewing the injury as a minor setback at this time. Assuming the outfielder sticks to his current rehab program without issue, he should be ready to return to game action by the middle of next week.

Managing calf injury Marisnick is dealing with a calf strain and is expected to test it in baserunning drills Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, though it's prevented the 29-year-old from seeing game action during the first week of spring games. If all goes well in the baserunning drills, Marisnick could be cleared for his spring debut relatively soon.

Team may not use platoon Chicago manager David Ross has indicated he may use Joc Pederson against both lefties and righties instead of deploying him in a platoon with Marisnick, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com r...

Impact Marisnick could have some limited fantasy value if he bats regularly against lefties, but Ross indicated that Pederson might get an opportunity against southpaws, at least to start the season. Pederson has historically struggled against lefties, however, so Marisnick could work his way into a platoon situation at some point. The 29-year-old outfielder has a .730 OPS against lefties over the past three seasons, including a 1.099 mark in 17 plate appearances last year.

Added to roster Marisnick was officially added to the Cubs' roster Sunday when the team designated Phillip Ervin for assignment, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Marisnick was fully expected to have a reserve outfield spot when he signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with Chicago on Feb. 11, but the release of Ervin locks him in. The right-handed Marisnick could form a left field platoon with left-handed Joc Pederson, who is also a new addition to the roster.

Impact Marisnick has seen minimal playing time recently, but he should now be sidelined for the remainder of the season due to his hamstring injury. Guillermo Heredia was recalled by the Mets to take his place as outfield depth.

Returns to lineup Marisnick (hamstring) will bat seventh as the center fielder Friday against Atlanta.
