The Chicago Cubs are making roster moves before their series against the Miami Marlins starting Monday at 5:40 p.m. CST. The Cubs are traveling to Miami after winning five of their last six games, including a weekend sweep of the Chicago White Sox.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that the Cubs would consider calling up third baseman Matt Shaw before the series against Miami. Chicago sent the promising rookie to Iowa in April after batting .172/.294/.241 with an OPS of .535 in his first 58 at-bats.

Per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Shaw is joining the Cubs in Miami on Monday. Chicago will try to trade Nicky Lopez.

“Cubs top prospect Matt Shaw is indeed coming up to the Cubs, as I just mentioned on @mullyhaugh,” Heyman posted on X. “Shaw killed it in Iowa and rounds out terrific lineup. Cubs will try to trade defensive specialist Nicky Lopez, who didn’t travel with the team to Miami.”

Shaw is batting .286/.409/.560 with an OPS of .970, six home runs, and 14 RBI through 91 at-bats in 24 games in Iowa this season.

Lopez signed a minor league contract with Chicago in February. He was released in March.

The 30-year-old infielder signed a major league deal with the Los Angeles Angels on March 25. He was DFA’d on April 18 before rejoining the Cubs on a major league contract on April 23.

Lopez is batting .042.179/.042 with an OPS of .220. He has just one hit in 24 at-bats in 2025, scoring two total runs and one RBI.
