Chicago Cubs 2B Darwin Barney (knee) went 4-for-5 with a double for Triple-A Iowa Monday, April 15, and he's expected to rejoin the team Tuesday, April 16. 3B Ian Stewart (quadriceps) went 0-for-4 in his second rehab game for Iowa.

Fantasy Tip: Get ready to get Barney back in your lineups tomorrow. He's mainly middle infield depth in mixed formats but should be owned in most NL-only leagues.

Chicago Cubs 2B Darwin Barney (knee) will have the stitches removed from his left knee Friday, April 12, before going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa over the weekend. He's expected to return to the team for their game Tuesday, April 16. He's eligible to come off the disabled list Monday, April 15.

Fantasy Tip: Barney doesn't give you much besides a respectable batting average. He should be owned in most NL-only leagues, though, as middle infield depth, but you can ignore him in mixed leagues.
