Matt Mervis Continues Steady Season With Triple-A Iowa

Chicago Cubs prospectMatt Mervishas hit home runs in two of his last three games with the Iowa Cubs as he continues his solid 2023 season. The first baseman appears to have bounced back from a rough showing in his brief call-up to Chicago, where he hit just .167 with 32 strikeouts in 27 games. Since his demotion on June 15, Mervis has slashed .294/.433/.507 with seven home runs in 40 games. The overall Triple-A numbers for 2023 sit at .291/.420/.529 with 13 HRs and an impressive 17% walk rate over 283 plate appearances. The Duke product appears the be the Cubs' first baseman of the future, and recent roster moves suggest that promotion could come any day. He continues to be an attractive asset in both redraft and dynasty leagues.

Matt Mervis Rebounding In Triple-A

Chicago Cubs first base prospect Matt Mervis struggled in his MLB debut, slashing .167/.242/.289 with a 32.3% strikeout rate in 27 games before being optioned by Chicago to Triple-A Iowa on June 15. Despite the setback, the 25-year-old is hitting well with Iowa, slashing .319/.466/.536 with three home runs, 10 RBI, 12 runs, and a 0.88 BB/K ratio in 21 games since his demotion. He's been on fire since the All-Star break, slashing .500/.619/.563 with a 1.33 BB/K ratio in five games. With the Cubs expected to trade starters at the deadline, Mervis could be recalled to fill in the gaps at first base, making him a solid stash option in redraft leagues.
