Cubs' Kevin Alcantara: Sent to Triple-A

The Cubs optioned Alcantara to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.

Alcantara appeared in just three games during his first stint in the majors, going 1-for-6 with a walk, a run scored and three strikeouts. The Cubs will send him down to Triple-A to allow the 23-year-old prospect to get more consistent at-bats, and Owen Caissie will come up from Iowa to replenish Chicago's outfield depth.
