"The Chicago Cubs have not only been active on the field, but the team has been busy off of it. In recent days, the Cubs have added veteran second baseman Carlos Santana and relief pitcher Aaron Civale to the roster. Both moves were made on or before August 31, thus making Santana and Civale eligible for the postseason with Chicago."
"Fans may not remember much from his first stint with the team, but five seasons ago, Billy Hamilton played 14 games with the club during the 2020 season. The switch-hitting outfielder not only played for the Cubs, but Hamilton also played for the Chicago White Sox twice. In 74 combined games for the Cubs' cross-town rival, the soon-to-be 35-year-old scored 29 runs and recorded 11 stolen bases in 129 at-bats."
The Chicago Cubs added veteran second baseman Carlos Santana and reliever Aaron Civale before August 31, making both eligible for the postseason. The team entered Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves five games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central Division. Speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton agreed to return to Chicago ahead of the playoff push. Hamilton played 14 games for the Cubs in 2020 and also spent two stints with the Chicago White Sox, producing 29 runs and 11 stolen bases in 74 combined games for the White Sox. Hamilton spent the majority of his career with the Cincinnati Reds from 2013 to 2018, tallying 21 homers and 161 RBIs. He has limited postseason experience, appearing in two 2019 playoff games for the Atlanta Braves, producing two runs, a walk, and a stolen base.
