**BREAKING NEWS: Cubs Promote Top Prospect Owen Caissie for MLB Debut Against Blue Jays**
In a surprising move, the Chicago Cubs have called up outfield prospect Owen Caissie for his MLB debut against the Blue Jays on Thursday. At just 23 years old, Caissie is set to make a splash in the big leagues after a standout performance in Triple-A.
Caissie, a native of Canada, was acquired by the Cubs in a high-profile trade that sent Yu Darvish to the Padres in December 2020. Known for his powerful hitting and impressive defensive skills, Caissie has been lighting up the minor leagues with a .292 batting average and 22 home runs in 92 games for Iowa this season.
Regarded as the No. 3 prospect in the Cubs’ system by CBS Sports, Caissie has impressed scouts with his ability to make hard contact, with over 42% of his balls in play last season exceeding 95 mph. Despite some strikeout tendencies, Caissie’s potential as a middle-of-the-order force has fans buzzing with excitement.
The Cubs, currently holding the top wild card spot in the NL, are looking to bolster their lineup as they continue their push for a playoff spot. With Caissie’s debut, the team aims to strengthen their position in the competitive National League Central division.
