The Chicago Cubs made a roster change following their 3-0 loss to the White Sox on August 19. Shortstop Dansby Swanson was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, leading to Nico Hoerner moving to shortstop. To bolster infield depth, the Cubs claimed INF Gabriel Arias from the Mets, while RHP Phil Maton was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Arias, known for his defensive abilities, adds versatility to the infield as the season progresses.
