Owen Caissie Hits Home Run No. 5 On Tuesday
Owen Caissie went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday. It was his fifth home run of the season and third straight game with an extra-base hit. The average doesn't jump off the page at .230, but the ability to draw walks continues to keep his OBP afloat, now sitting at a robust .343 for the year. With the Cubs' outfielders rolling at the plate, there is no path to at-bats for Caissie, so it looks like the former second-round draft pick remain in the minors until there is a need, and he'll likely need to show some improvement upon his 35.3 percent strikeout rate he's posted thus far. The 22-year-old left the game early on Tuesday due to muscle cramps, but isn't expected to miss time. Nevertheless, expect a debut later this year, but he is not a stash candidate at this time.
