Cody Ransom is batting .350/.435/.900 with three homers in his first eight games with the Cubs.
Ransom and Luis Valbuena have formed a surprisingly productive platoon at third base, as the two are hitting a combined .267 (27-for-101) with eight home runs and 17 RBI. The two will continue to share the position while Ian Stewart tries to figure things out at Triple-A. "He’s been around a long time,’’ manager Dale Sveum said of Ransom. ‘‘He’s always hit home runs. He’ll strike out against right-handers, but he’s always hit left-handers. He’s dependable in the field, a no-panic kind of player.’’

Cody Ransom will start at third base Tuesday against the Reds.
Ransom, who was claimed off waivers from the Padres last week, will hit seventh against left-hander Tony Cingrani. He could split time with Luis Valbuena at third base in the short-term.

Cubs claimed INF Cody Ransom off waivers from the Padres.
Ransom was hitless in his fist 11 at-bats with the Padres and got designated for assignment on April 12. He will function as a utility infielder for Chicago.
Apr 16 - 4:39 PM

Carrie Muskat on Twitter
Padres designated INF Cody Ransom for assignment.
Ransom made the Opening Day roster as the final bench player, but went hitless in his first 11 at-bats including five strikeouts. With Chase Headley progressing rapidly in his recovery, and the Padres content to roll with Jedd Gyorko at third base in the meantime, Ransom was expendable. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal elsewhere.

Steve Clevenger
D.L.
Steve Clevenger (oblique) caught two bullpen sessions on Monday.
He's also throwing from 120-130 feet and is expected to start swinging a bat early next week. Clevenger is on the 60-day DL and won't be eligible to return until mid-June. He should have no trouble being ready at that time, though he's not a given to return to the big club.

Matt Garza
D.L.
Matt Garza (lat) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
Garza threw six scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa earlier this week, so he shouldn't be on a strict pitch count in his season debut and will provide an immediate upgrade to the Cubs' rotation. His return means Carlos Villanueva will be relegated to a bullpen role.

Scott Baker
D.L.
Scott Baker (elbow) did some light tosses from a distance of 45 feet Monday.
It was Baker's first time throwing since he was shut down near the end of spring training with a right elbow strain. The Cubs will know a lot more about his timetable once he starts to build up his workload.

Arodys Vizcaino
D.L.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum said Tuesday that Arodys Vizcaino (elbow) is a couple weeks away from appearing in a game.
He is presumably referring to an extended spring training game. Vizcaino, who will continue his rehab with the Cubs rather than at the club's spring training facility, is expected back around midseason.
