Outrighted to Triple-A
Bote cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Bote was designated for assignment by Chicago on Friday, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old had a respectable .304/.333/.391 slash line in 37 games before being booted off the Cubs' 40-man roster, but he recorded just four at-bats in August.

Stat Review
How does David Bote compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2019
It was mostly a lost season for Bote in 2022, and he finished it by getting outrighted to Triple-A Iowa in November, which removes him from the 40-man roster heading into 2023. The utility player didn't make his season debut until late June due to shoulder surgery the previous offseason, and shoulder issues continued to hamper him throughout the year. Bote ended up playing in a career-low 41 games for the Cubs and appeared in nearly as many games at Triple-A (38). When healthy and playing more regularly, Bote has provided some value as a versatile defender who can occasionally offer some pop as well. His best season came in 2019, when he registered career bests with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and a .784 OPS across 127 games. That looks like a distant memory as he enters his age-30 season, as the likes of Nico Hoerner, Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom figure to absorb most of Bote's potential playing time. He figures to be organizational depth in 2023 with limited fantasy appeal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starting at hot corner recently
Including Wednesday's game, Bote has started five of the last six games at third base for the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Bote was recalled from Triple-A Iowa at the beginning of the month and is 9-for-32 with two home runs in his last nine starts. The 29-year-old has served as a utility man for the Cubs over the last five seasons, but he struggled mightily at the plate the last two seasons and missed the majority of this year with a shoulder injury and bouts of dizziness. He's fanned in 39 percent of his plate appearances this year and was demoted in August, causing some to speculate whether he's fallen out of favor in Chicago. With the recent playing time at the hot corner, it appears the Cubs are giving him a shot to prove he's worthy of a future roster spot.
