They used that opportunity to call Schwarber up from Iowa, and he went an impressive 8-for-22 in his brief trial before he was returned to the Triple-A level.Schwarber is a powerful left-handed hitter who has to improve his defense before he gets called up to play on a full-time basis.NOW PLAYING ON http://t.co/h5NSY7VuJN: No. 2 #Cubs prospect @kschwarb12 of @iowacubs homered in second straight game. http://t.co/MNUDdrfkNX MiLB.com (@MiLB) July 9, 2015OF Nick Williams, Texas Rangers:Williams was selected in the second round of the 2012 draft, and he is coming around this season with Double-A Frisco.
