Report: Cubs calling up top prospect Caissie

The Chicago Cubs are calling up outfielder Owen Caissie, sources told ESPN's Jessie Rogers.

MLB Pipeline ranks Caissie as Chicago's top prospect and 45th overall in baseball. The Toronto-area native could reportedly make his MLB debut against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

The Cubs acquired Caissie from the San Diego Padres as part of the Yu Darvish trade in 2020. The Padres drafted Caissie 45th overall that year, making him the highest-drafted Canadian outfielder ever.

After debuting in Triple-A Iowa last season, Caissie has put up strong numbers at the level this year. In 92 games with the Cubs' top affiliate in 2025, he's collected 22 home runs and 26 doubles while sporting a .292 batting average and a .966 OPS.

The Cubs hold the top wild-card spot in the National League.
