The Chicago Cubs designated utilityman Vidal Brujan for assignment ahead of Wednesday afternoon's series finale in Milwaukee.

Brujan, 27, is hitting .222 with three RBIs in 36 games this season, his first with Chicago following a December trade with the Miami Marlins.

Defensively, Brujan has played innings this season at second base, shortstop, third base and all three outfield spots.

Brujan is a career .192 hitter with five homers, 43 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 237 games with the Tampa Bay Rays (2021-23), Marlins (2024) and Cubs.

Chicago also recalled catcher/DH Moises Ballesteros from Triple-A Iowa and reinstated right-hander Porter Hodge (right shoulder impingement) from the 15-day injured list. Hodge was optioned to Iowa.
