Cubs' David Bote: DFA'd by Cubs
The Chicago Cubs designated David Bote for assignment Friday, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.Bote hasn't started a game for Chicago since July 28 and has netted merely four at-bats since then. While the Cubs have struggled to find a spot in the lineup for the 31-year-old, he's been successful when given an opportunity, slashing .301/.333/.391 in 48 plate appearances this season. His spot on the 26-man roster is expected to go to Luis Vazquez while Gavin Hollowell -- who was claimed off waivers from Arizona -- takes Bote's spot on the 40-man roster. The utility player should garner some interest on waivers.

Cubs' David Bote: Tallies three hits Saturday
David Bote went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.Playing in only his fifth game of the season, Bote recorded his first three hits of the campaign. The veteran utility player gives the Chicago Cubs depth across the infield, and with Nico Hoerner (hand) a little banged up at the moment, Bote may have a brief window of extended playing time. However, when Chicago is fully healthy, Bote will find himself on the bench most days, which limits his fantasy upside.

Cubs' David Bote: Sent to minor-league camp
The Chicago Cubs reassigned David Bote to minor-league camp Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.Bote slugged five home runs during Cactus League play, but he came into camp with little chance at a roster spot.

Cubs' David Bote: Goes deep Saturday
David Bote went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Giants.Bote got his spring training schedule off to a strong start with the long ball. The veteran utility player may not be in the Chicago Cubs' plans this year as he's no longer on the 40-man roster. The additions of Dansby Swanson, Cody Bellinger, Eric Hosmer and Trey Mancini in the offseason have crowded the picture. Bote would likely need injuries ahead of him to see any meaningful playing time this season.
