There were unsurprisingly no takers for a 34-year-old with a career 67 wRC+. Adduci will remain organizational depth for Chicago.

Adduci spent a week with the Cubs, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts. He'll make way on the roster for Carlos Gonzalez.

Adduci was just called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day, as the Cubs wanted to add an extra bat to the roster with the use of the designated hitter in Houston. The team is also resting Kris Bryant and Jason Heyward, who collided in Sunday's game. Adduci has 426 career MLB plate appearances and spent the last two seasons in Detroit.

The Cubs may be in need of extra bats with the addition of a designated hitter for their series in Houston. Kris Bryant's (upper body) questionable status could also lead to Adduci finding himself in the lineup in the short term. The 34-year-old has 426 career plate appearances for his career, and last played in the major leagues as a member of the Tigers in 2018, when he racked up 185 plate appearances and hit .267/.290/.386.
