Here’s an early look at how the Cubs’ 2022 roster is shaking out – before any offseason moves.

The Cubs made a flurry of roster moves Friday in advance of the final series of the season in St. Louis.

The Cubs activated David Bote off the IL and designated Andrew Romine for assignment.

The Cubs had a busy day of roster moves Thursday, including Willson Contreras’ injury, a reunion for the Romine brothers and a new reliever.

The Cubs added some veteran depth to the catching mix Monday, inking Robinson Chirinos to a one-year deal.

Thanks to an onslaught of injuries, the Cubs are down to Option E at backup catcher right now. Get to know Taylor Gushue, the newest backstop in Chicago.

The Cubs are enduring another strong wave of injuries but they believe in the character of the players in the organization to weather the storm.

The Cubs selected the contract of P.J. Higgins Wednesday and designated Tony Wolters for assignment.

The roster shakeup continues for the Cubs as they bid farewell to Pedro Strop and made a couple of procedural moves.

Continuing with the annual tradition, Anthony Rizzo was slotted into the leadoff spot Wednesday as he continues to “work on his speed.” Meanwhile, Ian Happ received a mental day off and the Cubs provided updates on injured players.
