SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have optioned top prospect Matt Shaw to Triple-A Iowa after a disappointing start to the rookie third baseman's career.

There are some encouraging signs after the Cubs made pitching depth a top offseason priority, constantly thinking about what could go wrong.

Fernando Tatis Jr. homered twice and scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch as the San Diego Padres improved to 11-0 at home by beating the Chicago Cubs 10-4 on Monday night in the open.

Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his first two home runs of the season, including a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning, Michael Busch homered against his former team again and the Chicago.

The Cubs do not have a way to immediately and seamlessly replace Steele, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017.

Ben Brown used a two-pitch mix to throw six scoreless innings, and the Chicago Cubs got 14 runs on 15 hits in the final three innings of a 16-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on .

The initial injury designation — left elbow tendinitis — was the same one that Steele experienced late last season.
