CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs acquired veteran outfielder Cameron Maybin and two left-handed relievers in three trades on Monday, adding some help for their pursuit of their first division title since 2017.The NL Central leaders sent minor league infielder Zack Short to Detroit for Maybin, who is batting .244 with a homer and two RBIs in 14 games this year. The Cubs got Chafin and a cash consideration from Arizona for a player to be named or cash. Osich was acquired in a deal with Boston for a player to be named or cash.The addition of Maybin gives the Cubs a glut of outfielders on the roster. They also acquired infielder/outfielder José Martínez in a trade with Tampa Bay on Sunday, but he likely will get most of his playing time at designated hitter.The Cubs also have lefties Kyle Ryan and José Quintana in their bullpen, but Quintana could return to the rotation after Tyler Chatwood left Sunday's 10-1 victory at Cincinnati with right elbow discomfort.Chafin has been sidelined by a left finger sprain, but he is expected to return soon. He recorded an 8.10 ERA over his first 11 appearances this year.Osich, who turns 32 on Thursday, is 1-1 with a 5.74 ERA in 13 games this season. He played for the crosstown White Sox in 2019, going 4-0 with a 4.66 ERA in 57 appearances.Chafin and Osich each do well against lefty batters. Chafin has limited lefties to a .230 batting average for his career. Osich's number is .231.Infielder Hernán Pérez and outfielder Ian Miller were designated for assignment to make room on Chicago's 40-man roster.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
