Cubs utility infielder David Bote, optioned back to AAA Iowa this past week to make room for Kris Bryant, is now back with the big league team.

Not sure of the details right now on Albert Almora beyond that. There was word last night that he was unavailable because of a family situation, but again, there were no details.
Hopefully everything is OK, and all will be well coming out of the break.
Bote starts at third base today, by way of Kris Bryant sliding into the outfield.
