Cubs' Zach Borenstein: Picked up by Cubs

Borenstein signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Wednesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

The 28-year-old outfielder has yet to reach the big leagues. He's stalled out at Triple-A despite solid numbers at that level, as he's hit .260/.337/.476 there in parts of five seasons. A 29.8 percent strikeout rate at the highest level of the minors casts doubt on his ability to produce at the next level, however.
