The Cubs released Cuevas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas was attending camp as a non-roster invitee but didn't have a legitimate chance to win an Opening Day bench gig with the Cubs due to the team's ample depth in the outfield. The 28-year-old appeared in 76 games with the Rockies over the past two seasons but saw the majority of his action at Triple-A Albuquerque in both of those years.

Cuevas agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas will make $575,000 if he makes Chicago's big-league roster. It doesn't seem particularly likely that he'll do so, as he owns a .230/.265/.311 slash line in 76 major-league games thus far in his career.

Cuevas cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A 27-year-old with just 76 big-league games under his belt and a 39 wRC+ in those contests was understandable not a hot commodity on the waiver wire. Cuevas will remain with the Rockies but is unlikely to receive any more big-league opportunities this season.

Cuevas was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas will head to waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster. He's put together a .278/.358/.439 slash line over 60 games this season with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Cuevas (quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas was placed on the injured list April 16 after straining his quad in his first major-league game of the season. Though he is now healthy enough to return to action, he'll do so at Triple-A, where he racked up a .377/.450/.698 line across 60 plate appearances prior to joining the Rockies.

Cuevas was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left quadriceps strain, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas sustained the injury in his first major-league game of the season after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier Monday. The Rockies recalled Yonathan Daza in the corresponding move.

Manager Bud Black said after Monday's 5-2 win over the Padres that Cuevas sustained a left quadriceps strain during the contest, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports. There's a "high probability" that Cuevas will be placed on the 10-day injured list, according to Black.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier Monday and immediately entered the lineup, going 0-for-2 before suffering the untimely injury. Assuming Black's prediction comes to pass, Yonathan Daza could head back to the big club one day after being sent down to the minors to clear a spot on the active roster for Cuevas.

Cuevas was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and will start Monday's game against San Diego in left field, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas put together a solid day at the dish in Sunday's Triple-A action, clubbing his fourth homer of the season while driving in three runs. His hot start at the dish for the Isotopes was enough to earn a promotion (.378 average with 14 RBI over 11 games) and the Rockies will immediately insert him into the starting nine for the series opener.

Cuevas was sent to minor-league camp Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cuevas was always a long shot to break camp with the Rockies given the team's current outfield depth. The 27-year-old made his major-league debut last season, slashing .233/.268/.315 in 153 plate appearances, and could return to the show in 2019 should injuries create an opening.

Cuevas was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies' outfield was crowded even before the Sept. 1 roster expansion, but Cuevas (.331/.390/.538 in the Pacific Coast League this year) could draw the occasional start against a left-handed pitcher. That's probably not a big enough reason to care about him in most mixed leagues, though he might be worth the occasional rental pickup for deeper head-to-head formats.
