Baxter was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Baxter went unclaimed off waivers after the Cubs designated him for assignment Wednesday. Though he no longer holds a spot on the 40-man roster, Baxter will remain in the organization in a depth role at Triple-A, where he's produced a .300/.389/.369 batting line in 149 plate appearances this season.

Baxter was designated for assignment Wednesday, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports.

Baxter was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Baxter hasn't seen much playing time recently, and will now rejoin to Triple-A upon the return of David Ross (concussion) from the disabled list. However, the Cubs only have three outfielder on the roster as well as three catchers, so it's possible he'll rejoin the club after the All-Star break.

Baxter is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Baxter has been serving as the primary replacement in right field for the injured Jorge Soler, but he'll cede the start to Chris Denorfia in the series finale. Since his early-June promotion from Triple-A Iowa, Baxter is batting 12-for-36 (.333) with a pair of RBI.

Baxter will start in right field for the second straight game Sunday against the Reds.

Baxter has recorded a multi-hit game in each of his last two starts, so manager Joe Maddon will once again give him the nod over both Chris Denorfia and Junior Lake. On the season, Baxter is 6-for-21 (.286) with three runs scored, while still in search of his first RBI.

Baxter went 2-for-3 with a single, a double, two walks and three runs scored Wednesday against Detroit.

Given the opportunity to get in the lineup thanks to the DH rule, Baxter delivered a productive game in his first start as a Cub.

Baxter is in the lineup as the DH for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Baxter, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa a week ago, has served only as a pinch hitter, but he'll be the beneficiary of playing in an AL park Wednesday.

A day after being optioned to Iowa, Baxter was summoned back to the major league club to replace Jorge Soler (ankle) on the active roster.

Baxter was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

A roster spot opened up when the Cubs traded catcher Welington Castillo to the Mariners, and the 30-year-old Baxter will be up to occupy that spot at least temporarily. Baxter has hit .290 with a .377 OBP in 34 games with Iowa this season, albeit with very little power (four doubles, zero homers). He will likely be used primarily as a pinch-hitter during his time with the big club.
