• Cubs' Owen Caissie: Expected to get regular reps

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  The Cubs are currently projecting regular playing time for Caissie next season, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports. The club would also like to give Moises Ballesteros a chance to play regularly, though one of Caissie, Ballesteros and Seiya Suzuki will have to sit out most days. Caissie has nothing left to prove at Triple-A Iowa, having slashed .281/.380/.507 there over the last two seasons. He struggled in a cup of coffee with the Cubs, going 5-for-26 with 11 strikeouts, but is viewed as the team's top prospect.

• Cubs' Owen Caissie: Cleared from concussion

  10/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Caissie was deemed free of concussion symptoms and resumed taking part in baseball activities earlier this month, MLB.com reports. Though the Cubs didn't activate him for the wild-card series win over the Padres nor their NLDS loss to the Brewers, Caissie appears to have made a full recovery from the concussion that landed him on the 7-day injured list Sept. 14. The 23-year-old outfielder -- who hit .192 with one home run in 12 games this season in his first taste of the big leagues -- should be in line for a normal offseason. He'll compete for a spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster in spring training, though Caissie's chances of beginning the 2026 campaign in an everyday role with the big club could be determined by whether Chicago re-signs Kyle Tucker or brings aboard another high-profile corner outfielder or designated hitter over the winter.

• Cubs' Owen Caissie: Hits shelf with concussion

  09/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Cubs placed Caissie (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Sunday. Just one day after being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Caissie will be deactivated after he sustained a concussion when he collided with the outfield wall on a catch in the third inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Chicago recalled Kevin Alcantara from Iowa to provide the team with another option in the outfield while Seiya Suzuki (illness) is day-to-day and Kyle Tucker (calf) is on the 10-day IL.

• Cubs' Owen Caissie: Injures head Saturday

  09/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Caissie was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays due to concussion symptoms, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports. Caissie's head collided with the outfield wall while he made a catch in the third inning, and manager Craig Counsell said the outfielder's condition only declined after that point. He'll enter concussion protocol and could soon be headed to the 7-day injured list, which would presumably open up playing time in the outfield for Willi Castro.

  The Cubs recalled Caissie from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. Caissie slashed .208/.240/.375 across 25 plate appearances during his first stint in the majors in August and has gone 6-for-24 with three RBI, five runs scored and two steals since being sent down to Triple-A. He'll now rejoin the big club to provide depth in the outfield, replacing Kevin Alcantara.
