Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-3 with a solo home run on Thursday against the White Sox.

Sweeney left Sunday's Cactus League game with right knee soreness. The 29-year-old outfielder is expected to be a key platoon player in Chicago's outfield after slashing .266/.324/.448 with six homers and 19 RBI in 70 games a season ago. He should intrigue NL-only sleeper-hunting owners.

The 29-year-old outfielder is expected to see semi-regular playing time in the Cubs outfield this season after slashing .266/.324/.448 with six homers and 19 RBI in 70 games a season ago. He makes for a decent late-round outfielder in deeper NL-only formats.

Cubs re-signed OF Ryan Sweeney to a two-year, $3.5 million contract with a $2.5 million option for 2016.

It's a nice depth-building move for the Cubs, who got a decent .266/.324/.448 batting in 212 plate appearances this summer from Sweeney. The 28-year-old will likely serve as a fourth outfielder next season in Chicago.

Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's loss to the Marlins.

Sweeney rejoined the Cubs on Sunday after missing more than two months with a fractured rib. The 28-year-old was off to a solid start prior to the injury and there's not much standing in his way, so he could have some value in NL-only leagues for the final month of the season.

Cubs activated OF Ryan Sweeney from the 60-day disabled list.

Sweeney has been sidelined since late June with a fractured rib. Before the injury, his season had gotten off to a nice start, hitting .295/.342/.527 with four homers and 15 RBI in 44 games. He could be worth a look in deeper NL-only leagues depending on how his playing time shakes out.

Sweeney suffered the injury Saturday when he crashed into the outfield wall. He's expected to be sidelined for 4-6 week. Julio Borbon and Brian Bogusevic will handle center field while Sweeney and David DeJesus are out. The Cubs will make a corresponding move prior to Tuesday's game.

Ryan Sweeney left Saturday's game against the Mariners with rib soreness.

Sweeney picked up his first RBI on a second-inning groundout, his second RBI on a third-inning double, his third RBI on a fifth-inning double and the other three RBI on a seventh-inning home run.

Sweeney has just 37 at-bats since joining the Cubs a month ago, but he's done well with them, hitting a homer (he had none in 204 at-bats last year) and walking five times. If he keeps it up, another team may want to pick him up to serve as a fourth outfielder.

Cubs purchased the contract of OF Ryan Sweeney from Triple-A Iowa.

Sweeney was raking to the tune of a .337/.396/.627 batting line at the Triple-A level, but he seems doubtful to hold much fantasy value. The 28-year-old outfielder is a .280/.338/.378 career hitter in the majors.

The Cubs are planning to promote outfielder Ryan Sweeney from Triple-A Iowa before Tuesday's game.

Chicago opens a two-game set with the rival Cardinals on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. Sweeney, who's been killing the ball at Triple-A Iowa, will take over for struggling backup outfielder Dave Sappelt on the Cubs' active roster. This is not a move that needs to register on fantasy radars.

Cubs signed OF Ryan Sweeney to a minor league contract.

Sweeney, who was released by the Red Sox over the weekend at his request, will report to Triple-A Iowa.

"They want me to go get some at-bats and hopefully I'll be up pretty quick."
