James Triantos - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Opening season at Triple-A The Cubs optioned Triantos to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Impact Chicago protected Triantos from the Rule 5 Draft over the winter by adding him to its 40-man roster, but the 23-year-old was never viewed as a likely candidate to break camp with the big club. Triantos is slated to begin the season at Iowa, with whom he slashed .260/.318/.371 with seven home runs and 28 stolen bases across 444 plate appearances in 2025.

Shielded from Rule 5 Draft The Cubs selected Triantos' contract from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

Impact Triantos' dynasty value has taken a hit over the past year, as he has been a below league average hitter in 128 games at Triple-A, dating back to 2024. A bat-first player, Triantos has shown remarkable pure hitting ability at Double-A and in the Arizona Fall League, so the Cubs will still protect him from the Rule 5 Draft despite the fact he slashed .258/.315/.369 slash line in 102 games at Triple-A in 2025. If Triantos can take a step forward as a hitter, his propensity to steal bases could eventually come in handy in fantasy -- he has stolen 78 bases over the past two seasons.

A debut sometime in 2025 for the infielder is possible.

After playing primarily at third base in 2022, Triantos has made the move to the keystone in 2023, as nine of his 11 starts to date have come at second base. His other two starts have come as a designated hitter.
