Javier Assad has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa by the Chicago Cubs. (Chicago Cubs on X)

Fantasy Impact:

Assad had a great spring for the Cubs, allowing one earned run in 6.2 innings with an 8:1 K:BB ratio. Injuries limited the righthander to just eight games for Chicago last season, but he went 4-1 with a 3.65 ERA in 37 innings. The 28-year-old has a career ERA of 3.43 in 331 innings. Assad will open the year in Iowa, but you can bank on him being called up at some point to serve as a long reliever or spot starter.
