EDGE Analysis

Bote has been on the IL since May 30 with a dislocated left shoulder. He's progressed well and is on the brink of going on a rehab stint. The infielder will likely need to get multiple games under his belt in the minors, but a return to the Cubs within the next week remains a possibility.
