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

Sent down to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Triantos to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Triantos made his major-league debut July 25 against the Pirates and appeared in seven games for the Cubs while serving in a utility role in the infield. He'll get regular playing time in Triple-A, where he's slashing .306/.344/.440 with 18 steals (in 23 attempts), seven home runs and 52 RBI over 378 plate appearances. Triantos' demotion to the minors corresponds with the Cubs recalling Kevin Alcantara and selecting Owen Miller's contract from Iowa, as well as Dansby Swanson (oblique) being placed on the 15-day injured list.

Recalled from Iowa The Cubs recalled Triantos from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

Impact He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Kevin Alcantara, who was optioned to Iowa. Triantos has slashed .306/.344/.440 with seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 20:44 BB:K this season and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. The 23-year-old's versatility gives him multiple avenues to playing time, but everyday reps are unlikely.

Slated for promotion to majors The Cubs are slated to promote Triantos from Triple-A Iowa, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.

Impact Triantos saw his prospect stock tumble following a disappointing 2025 campaign, but he's bounced back in 2026 with a .306/.344/.440 batting line, seven home runs, 18 stolen bases and a 20:44 BB:K. The 23-year-old has primarily played second and third base this season but has also made starts at all three outfield spots. The path to regular playing time for Triantos doesn't seem to be there, but the right-handed hitter could see spot starts at a variety of positions.

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.

Garners spring invite The Cubs have extended Triantos an invitation to major-league camp during spring training, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He'll be joined in camp by fellow top prospects Matt Shaw -- who could be the favorite to start at third base Opening Day -- and Moises Ballesteros, among others. Triantos, 22, is lacking in the power department, but he put together a healthy .300/.346/.427 batting line with seven homers and 47 steals between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa last season. A debut sometime in 2025 for the infielder is possible.

Headed to Triple-A Triantos was promoted to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tommy Birch of The Des Moines Register reports.

Impact Triantos will head to Iowa after he compiled a .300 average with seven home runs, 40 RBI, 63 runs scored and 38 stolen bases over 89 games with Double-A Tennessee this season. He'll join fellow infielder Matt Shaw and outfielder Kevin Alcantara in being promoted to Triple-A.

Impact Triantos spent the first month of the season on the shelf while recovering from the surgery he underwent in March to address a torn meniscus in his right knee, but the 20-year-old has hit the ground running upon reporting to South Bend. 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.
