The Chicago Cubs designated former All-Star first baseman Eric Hosmer for assignment, the team announced Friday, according to Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.The move headlines a flurry of activity by the Cubs, including placing outfielder Cody Bellinger on the 10-day injured list with a left knee contusion and reinstating second baseman Nico Hoerner from the IL. The club also brought up infielder Edwin Rios and outfielder Mike Tauchman from the minors while optioning right-handed reliever Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa.Chicago added Hosmer this past offseason on a one-year deal at the league-minimum $720,000.Through 31 games with the Cubs, Hosmer hit .234/.280/.330 with two homers. He also posted a .610 OPS (67 OPS+) and lost playing time to rookie slugger Matt Mervis, who Chicago called up in early May. The 25-year-old has one homer and one double through 10 contests.The San Diego Padres are still paying Hosmer roughly $13 million per season through the 2025 campaign. The Padres attempted to move the four-time Gold Glove winner to the Washington Nationals prior to last year's trade deadline, but the 33-year-old vetoed the deal as he had no-trade protection for certain teams. Hosmer eventually got traded to the Boston Red Sox, with San Diego retaining all salary beyond 2022.A veteran of 13 seasons, Hosmer helped lead the Kansas City Royals to a World Series in 2015 and was honored as a Silver Slugger in 2017.Copyright © 2023 Score Media Ventures Inc.
