ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that Ian Stewart has re-signed with the Cubs.

No word yet on the terms involved. Stewart was non-tendered by the Cubs last week, but both sides were unable to find better fits elsewhere. The 27-year-old batted just .201/.292/.335 in 55 games this past season prior to undergoing wrist surgery, but he was recently given a clean bill of health. The Cubs' top alternative at third base was Luis Valbuena, so it's worth giving him another shot at a possible rebound.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that Ian Stewart has drawn "wide interest" from teams looking for third base help.

Stewart was on-tendered by the Cubs last week after batting just .201/.292/.335 in 55 games this past season while dealing with a wrist injury which eventually required surgery. The 27-year-old was recently given a clean bill of health, so plenty of teams appear willing to take a chance on him.

Cubs non-tendered 3B Ian Stewart.

Stewart struggled mightily in his first season in Chicago, hitting a meager .201/.292/.335 in 55 games before undergoing season-ending wrist surgery. Still just 27-years-old, he should find a another team willing to gamble on his power upside.

Cubs activated 3B Ian Stewart from the 60-day disabled list.

Stewart was limited to 55 games last season due to wrist surgery. The 27-year-old is under team control through 2014, but remains a non-tender candidate after batting just .201/.292/.335 in his first year with the Cubs.

Whether or not the Cubs bring back Ian Stewart (wrist) next season will depend largely on reports from their doctors.

Stewart, who underwent surgery on his left wrist in June, was examined by doctors Tuesday in order to check on his progress. "Obviously, we'll spend a lot of time getting to the bottom of how it looks going forward before making a decision on his future with us," general manager Jed Hoyer said. "It is a year that's hard to evaluate given the wrist." Stewart is under team control for two more years but is an obvious non-tender candidate after batting just .201/.292/.335 in his first year in Chicago.

Ian Stewart needs surgery on his left wrist and is expected to be sidelined for 6-10 weeks.

In other words, he's likely done for the remainder of the 2012 season. Stewart struggled mightily in 55 games this year for the Cubs, batting just .201/.292/.335 with five home runs and 17 RBI. He'll be eligible for arbitration heading into 2013.

ESPN Chicago reports Ian Stewart is "likely headed toward wrist surgery."

Stewart has been on the disabled list since June 14 with left wrist soreness, and hasn't responded to a series of cortisone injections."We're probably going to have to make that decision (on surgery) pretty soon just for the fact that there is no progress going on," manager Dale Sveum said. In Stewart's latest examination, calcium deposits were found that might be affecting a nerve, but the issue has been ongoing for over a year without doctors finding anything specific to treat. The Cubs will likely provide an update on his status early next week.

Ian Stewart (wrist) was able to do some hitting Monday.

Stewart is making progress, but there's still no timetable for his return. He's been out since mid-June due to his nagging left wrist injury.

Ian Stewart (wrist) said the specialist he saw in Cleveland this week diagnosed him with a possible impingement between bones in his left hand.

The specialist also saw signs of an old compression injury that has healed on its own, which could be the source of the discomfort and occasional tingling Stewart has dealt with in his wrist for over a year. Surgery doesn't appear to be an option, though, as the Cubs are hoping Stewart is better after receiving a cortisone shot. If the shot works, he could return from the DL on June 29 when first eligible. He'll test out the wrist by hitting off a tee Saturday or Sunday.

Ian Stewart (wrist) was given a cortisone shot Monday.

Stewart also visited with joint specialists at the Cleveland Clinic, though they merely confirmed the diagnosis given earlier this month by Cubs team physicians. The 27-year-old third baseman could need a surgical procedure if his left wrist discomfort does not go away on its own.

Ian Stewart will see a hand specialist at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday for an examination of his left wrist.

Stewart has been dealing with wrist issues for more than a year now, and it has surely affected his power and overall performance. He is hitting just .201 with five homers and 17 RBI through 179 at-bats this season.

Ian Stewart has not ruled out exploratory surgery on his ailing left wrist.

Stewart has had problems with the wrist for over a year, and it's surely been a factor in his struggles. A battery of tests last year revealed no structural damage, but he'll see a specialist Monday to get a second opinion. ``With all the MRI and X-ray results, nothing of major value came up in there where they said, `We've got to get this done now,' or it would have been taken care of a long time ago,'' he said. ``But there have been instances where things didn't show up on those, and they can go in [surgically] and look and see if there are other things. I don't know if we'll go that route, but that's definitely a possibility.''

Ian Stewart is scheduled to visit a wrist specialist.

The Cubs are worried that Stewart may have nerve damage. He was placed on the disabled list Wednesday evening with a wrist issue that he's dealt with since last year. There's obviously no timetable for his return.

Cubs placed 3B Ian Stewart on the 15-day disabled list with a left wrist injury.

Stewart dealt with similar wrist issues last year and could be out for an extended period of time. The 27-year-old is batting just .201 with a .627 OPS this year.

Ian Stewart was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to soreness in his left wrist.

It's the same issue that he's dealt with since last season. Stewart plans to continue to play through the ailment but will require periodic rest. Joe Mather took his place at the hot corner.

Ian Stewart went 2-for-3 in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Both knocks were singles. The Cubs could muster just four hits, none of which went for extra bases, as Barry Zito and Sergio Romo combined on a shutout. Stewart's ninth multi-hit game of the season leaves him with an abysmal .204/.292/.349 slash through Chicago's first 53 games. Getting benched more frequently of late, his NL-only league value is on the wane.

Ian Stewart returned to action on Saturday May 26.

Ian Stewart is back in the lineup Monday after missing Sunday's game with the flu.

Stewart was able to get a big pinch-hit Sunday. "He's good enough," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said of his third baseman. "He's probably not 100 percent, but he's good enough to go out there for now. I told him not to do a whole lot today [pregame] to exert himself to get dizzy again."

Despite his early season struggles, Cubs manager Dale Sveum stated Friday that Ian Stewart remains his everyday third baseman.

Sveum love Stewart's defense at third base, stating that "There ain't too many third baseman that play third base like he does." From a fantasy perspective, he's been a large disappointment to this point only hitting .175 with one homer and six RBI. It appears for the time being however, that he'll continue to see everyday at-bats and be given every opportunity to work out of his current funk.

Ian Stewart had a three-run homer and two walks Friday against the Cardinals.

The homer was Stewart's first since 2010; he didn't hit any in his 122 at-bats with the Rockies last season. He's off to an 8-for-26 start at the plate.
