The Chicago Cubs boast significant starting pitching depth, leading to frequent roster changes that have impacted right-hander Javier Assad. This season, Assad has transitioned between the rotation, bullpen, and Triple-A but continues to succeed, as demonstrated in a recent 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Entering the game unexpectedly in the fifth inning, he delivered three scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and striking out two batters. His performance was particularly notable following his recent option to Triple-A Iowa.
