Fantasy Impact:

Assad has struggled in his two starts with the Cubs since returning from a left oblique strain, posting a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across eight innings. In a corresponding move, Luke Little has been recalled from Triple-A. Jameson Taillon (calf), who should be activated from the injured list soon, is expected to take his spot in the rotation.
