Nico is expected to rehab in the AZL soon, possibly this weekend. Little's rehab is likely over and his next start will be in full season ball. Both per The Athletic.

Any chance of Kumar skipping his last two years to play in Japan? What (or how much) would it take to lure him overseas? I'm assuming you're referring to the whole Carter Stewart situation (which is not normal). So, yes, technically Kumar Rocker could leave Vanderbilt and play overseas and join NPB, but it would take an incredible amount of money and it might delay his FA in MLB down the road. It's complicated (no one is quite sure how posting will work for Carter Stewart when/if he wants to return) and top draft prospects don't really go overseas. Maybe if Carter Stewart is successful it might become an option going forward, but it's a difficult transition. So I'm assuming you're asking because you're trying to figure out a way for the Cubs to land Kumar Rocker? That's not happening lol. If Rocker goes overseas and establishes residency there, he'd be open to the international spending caps considering his age. If he doesn't establish residency, I believe he'd still be under the draft eligibility rules.

José López, the Cubs biggest bonus baby from 2018, is making his pro debut for the DSL Cubs 2. He is leading off and playing center field.
