Cubs promoted C/1B prospect Moises Ballesteros to Triple-A Iowa.
Ballesteros, who hit for the cycle last Friday, earns a promotion to the doorstep of the majors after batting .299/.372/.495 with nine homers and one steal in 223 plate appearances over 56 games for Double-A Tennessee at the outset of the year. The 20-year-old backstop hasn’t generated the caliber of hype some of the other top catching prospects have in fantasy circles, but he’s been extremely productive in the upper minors and is inching towards the big leagues. He’s been a popular name in dynasty league circles over the last few months and is starting to become more of a household name.
