Extra bases

• After Sunday's game, the Cubs optioned left-hander Zac Rosscup to Triple-A Iowa. The move will make room for Tuesday's starter, Kyle Hendricks, who will be promoted from the Minors.

• Addison Russell, acquired from the Athletics on July 4, went 2-for-4, hitting two home runs, including a grand slam, and finished with six RBIs in Double-A Tennessee's 10-3 win over Huntsville. The shortstop hit a two-run homer in the first, and his slam in the fifth. Both were off Huntsville's Brent Suter.
