Prospect Javier Baez will join the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in Colorado and could make his major league debut in the three-game series against the Rockies.
The 21-year-old Baez got off to a slow start this year in the minors, but has been playing well of late.
The middle infielder hit .300 with 12 homers and 34 RBIs in his last 32 games for Triple-A Iowa.
Baez will have his contract purchased from the minors before the series opener against Colorado.
Baez is part of a loaded minor league system for Chicago that Cubs fans are hoping will lead the team back to respectability after a string of down years.
The Cubs are 47-63 this season and in last in the NL Central.
