What happened: The Chicago Cubs selected right-handed pitcher Carson Jasa of Nebraska with the 98th overall pick in the MLB Draft. The pick came after Chicago used earlier selections on 1B Myles Bailey (75th overall, Florida State) and OF Caden Sorrell (62nd overall, Texas A&M).
Why it matters: The selection adds another arm to a Cubs farm system being restocked as the big-league roster sits at 52-42 and evaluates the trade deadline. Draft-day depth additions like Jasa give Chicago's front office more organizational pitching to work with heading into the back half of the season.
What to watch: The Cubs continue making selections as the MLB Draft proceeds through its later rounds.
