Bote (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bote is back with the Cubs after his son was born Tuesday. Alec Mills was optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Bote (personal) should return from the paternity list in time for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The club reported that Bote's son was born Tuesday and all is well, so Bote should be back with the team after just one day away.

Bote was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bote will be away from the team for up to three days while attending to the birth of his child. Randy Rosario has been called up from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

Bote went 2-for-4 and delivered a walkoff RBI single in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bote singled to center against Arizona reliever Archie Bradley in the bottom of the ninth inning to bring home Javier Baez and give the Cubs the narrow win. Bote seems to have a knack for clutch hits, as evidenced by his memorable pinch-hit, game-winning grand slam against Nationals' reliever Ryan Madson last season, and the 26-year-old is now batting .295 this year with an .835 OPS.

Bote is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bote had started in five of the Cubs' last six games, going a combined 5-for-20 with a home run, two doubles and three walks. The versatile utility man continues to see steady at-bats despite his lack of a clear path to an everyday role, but his playing-time outlook could take a hit when shortstop Addison Russell (suspension) is eligible to return May 3.

Bote went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Bote followed up a three-RBI game Monday with another strong performance Tuesday, and he's now batting .294 this season with a solid .885 OPS. The 26-year-old isn't quite an everyday player, but the Cubs should continue to find him regular opportunities as long as he stays locked in at the plate.

Bote went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Bote drove in two in the first inning with his double, then added a third RBI in the fifth on a fielder's choice. The 26-year-old is tough to trust in standard leagues because his playing time is limited, but he makes for a decent DFS bargain play when he's in the lineup, as he offers a little bit of pop.

Bote went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Bote's first home run of the season was one of four in the game for the Cubs. The 26-year-old isn't playing everyday but he does have a strong .304/.385/.522 line through 23 at-bats this season, with the one home run and four RBI.

Bote signed a five-year, $15 million contract extension with the Cubs on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal, which includes a pair of club options, will keep Bote in a Cubs uniform until 2024. The 25-year-old hit .239/.319/.408 with six homers and three stolen bases in 74 games as a rookie last season. He's currently occupying a utility role for the Cubs.

Bote went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bote now has two home runs this spring in 26 at-bats and he's slashing .462/.583/.769. The 25-year-old got some extended run in 2018 due to Kris Bryant missing some time with a shoulder injury, but assuming Bryant stays healthy in 2019, Bote should settle into a utility role with the Cubs, with the potential for solid production if everyday at-bats come his way at any point.
