Some Cubs prospect notes – well, minor league notes, at least – to get out to you, including some TRULY surprising and excellent news from Arizona …

Brennen Davis, rehabbing a back fracture, was considered out for the season. Not because the Cubs said that mind you, but I think many of us were making assumptions based on his back/core history and the lack of positive progress updates. And then boom, he’s in a game. That puts a return on the table for 2024, which would be a tremendous way to end the season.

Brett has more on Davis’ surprise return and other Cubs prospects notes for you this afternoon:
