Cubs' Ballesteros shifts to catcher!

Cubs' infielder Patrick Ballesteros is slated to begin Monday's game as the catcher against the Padres. This start represents his initial opportunity behind the plate this season, with his second appearance at the position upcoming. Ballesteros has demonstrated strong offensive performance, boasting a .397 batting average, .446 on-base percentage, and .690 slugging percentage, alongside four home runs. His primary role is expected to continue as the designated hitter for the Cubs.

However, if Ballesteros gains more experience and starts consistently at catcher, it could substantially enhance his fantasy baseball prospects. The team is looking to utilize his offensive capabilities while exploring potential versatility in his playing assignments.
