Ben Cowles Profiled as Triple-A Depth for Chicago Cubs

Ben Cowles, 26, continues to serve as organizational depth for the Chicago Cubs after stints with the Blue Jays and White Sox earlier this year. With a career minor-league slash line of .258/.346/.409 over 459 games, Cowles is viewed as a Quadruple-A player rather than a primary utility option for the major-league roster. The Cubs aim to keep him on the Triple-A Iowa roster to provide depth throughout the 2026 season.
