The Chicago Cubs are currently taking on the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game series. The Cubbies are 51-40 this season, but sit seven games back of the Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the NL Central. Chicago won 5-2 on Tuesday and will go for the series win against the Orioles on Wednesday evening.
During the Orioles series, the Chicago Cubs quietly re-signed a former World Series champion who had been released by the organization a few days prior.

According to his MLB.com transactions tracker, former World Series champion with the Houston Astros, Chas McCormick, is back with the Chicago Cubs on a minors deal.
MLB.com wrote: "Chicago Cubs signed free agent LF Chas McCormick to a minor league contract."
It looked like the transaction happened on July 6. McCormick was released from the Cubs organization last week. He has not appeared in an MLB game this season, and spent five seasons with the Houston Astros (2021 to 2025) prior to joining the Cubs.
"McCormick's departure from the Cubs didn't last very long. After the veteran outfielder was surprisingly released despite producing solid numbers at Triple-A, the Cubs decided to bring him back, giving the former Houston Astrosâ World Series champion another opportunity to work his way toward the major league roster."
It was a very short time of unemployment for McCormick, who will likely head back to Triple-A after the signing.
