Shut down with groin tightness Caissie has been shut down due to left groin tightness, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Caissie underwent core muscle surgery over the offseason, although it's not clear whether this setback is related to that. It's uncertain how long the outfield prospect might be shut down. If healthy, Caissie projects to open the season at Triple-A Iowa.

Selected to 40-man roster The Cubs selected Caissie to their 40-man roster Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Caissie spent the entire 2024 campaign with Triple-A Iowa, where he slashed .278/.375/.472 with 19 homers and 75 RBI across 549 plate appearances. The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising prospects in Chicago's farm system, and a strong spring could be all he needs to break camp with the big-league squad.

Power, Ks at Triple-A Caissie has four home runs, 14 strikeouts and five walks in 34 at-bats this month for Triple-A Iowa.

Impact The 21-year-old outfielder is slashing .278/.403/.454 with seven home runs, five steals and a 29 percent strikeout rate in 57 games at Triple-A. Caissie's power and strikeouts have both spiked over the past couple weeks. He hits the ball hard (30.3 percent hard-hit rate), especially for his age, but Caissie's .397 BABIP this year at Triple-A and .407 BABIP last year at Double-A are inflated marks that have propped up his batting averages.

Doing damage for Smokies Caissie has a .269/.371/.502 slash line with 15 home runs and a 34.3 percent strikeout rate in 75 games for Double-A Tennessee.

Impact He had 26 strikeouts in his first 12 games of the year, but even since that whiff-happy start, Caissie's strikeout rate is 31.1 percent since April 23, so he still projects to hit for a relatively low average. Known for his 70-grade raw power, the lefty-hitting Caissie is right on track in that department, sporting his best full-season ISO (.233) and a strong 32.5 percent hard-hit rate.
