Injuries Create Opportunity for Younger Cubs Players to Begin 2025 Season

The Chicago Cubs have finalized their 2025 Opening Day roster following a series of moves that required some 40-man tinkering. The team also placed three more players on the injured list.

Cody Poteet had been designated for assignment, which solves the mystery of who the Cubs were going to remove from the 40-man roster to make room for Brad Keller. Poteet was the pitcher acquired in the Cody Bellinger trade.
