"Carlson, 27, went hitless in four plate appearances with the Cubs before being cut from the big league roster. A former first-round pick, he had a promising beginning to his career with the division-rival Cardinals."
"Since that intriguing 2021 campaign, he's totaled 1253 MLB plate appearances and posted an anemic .220/.302/.339 batting line - about 17% worse than league-average, by measure of wRC+."
"Back with the Cubs now, Carlson will provide some depth in the upper minors. Chicago's roster has been decimated by injury, but nearly all of the health problems for the Cubs have been on the pitching side of things."
Dylan Carlson re-signed with the Cubs on a minor league contract after being designated for assignment. He previously went hitless in four plate appearances with the Cubs. Carlson, a former first-round pick, had a promising start with the Cardinals but has seen a decline in performance since 2021. His batting average has dropped significantly, and he has moved between several teams. With injuries affecting the Cubs' roster, Carlson will add depth to the upper minors as the team navigates its current challenges.
