First baseman Alfonso Rivas didn’t pout when he was optioned to Triple-A Iowa following the Cubs’ game April 15.
“It’s part of the business,” said Rivas, who was brought back Friday when outfielder Clint Frazier (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list. “It always sucks when you get sent down, but the easiest thing for me was to understand that it was a business move, and it gave me the opportunity to play every single day down there. I saw it as the positive of that transaction.”
