The Chicago Cubs have locked up most of their starting rotation for the start of the 2023 season, but the competition for the final spot in that group is turning into a remarkable competition, with Javier Assad and Hayden Wesneski both acing their auditions so far.

In two appearances for the Cubs during Cactus League action, Assad struck out two batters and issued just one walk in four hitless innings of work.

He has also issued just two walks and scattered five hits in 8.2 innings, with one unearned run on his ledger. It is not clear when the Cubs will make a decision on their fifth starter, but the possibility exists of using one of the hurlers out of the bullpen, with Assad a logical candidate based on his efficiency and his improved velocity.
