Cubs' Owen Caissie: Bound for Chicago

The Cubs are expected to recall Caissie from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Widely considered to be one of the top prospects in the Cubs' farm system, Caissie has had his way with Triple-A pitchers all season, slashing .291/.391/.567 with 22 home runs over 402 plate appearances. With Chicago's offense struggling to produce ever since the calendar flipped to August, the team will hope that the addition of Caissie can provide a lift. The 23-year-old has experience at both corner-outfield spots and may also be an option at designated hitter. Caissie may not necessarily be in line for an everyday role in his first taste of the majors, however, as Kyle Tucker, Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki have typically been occupying left and right field and DH in some combination.
