May 6 12:05pSappelt has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa, with the Cubs calling up outfielder Ryan Sweeney in a corresponding move, according to the Cubs' official site.
ImpactSappelt had been playing in a depth role at all the outfield spots for the Cubs, but was hitting just .178 in 20 games. Sweeney can pretty much play the same role, so the Cubs will see if he can provide a little more pop than Sappelt was providing when they need to use a sub.
