The Cubs announced they agreed to terms with their first-round draft pick, infielder Matt Shaw from the University of Maryland, and six other players.
Red Sox: LHP Richard Bleier could return this week, manager Alex Cora said. Bleier is rehabbing at Triple-A. … INF Pablo Reyes is rehabbing with Double-A Portland and needs more at-bats, Cora said. … RHP John Schreiber , on a rehab assignment at Triple-A, needs to pitch on back-to-back days, Cora said. Schreiber could return for Boston's series against the Mets or more likely the series against Atlanta next week.
Cubs: SS Dansby Swanson was eligible to be activated Sunday but remained on the injured list. He continued baseball activities. Red Sox: Boston had yet to announce its starter for Monday's series opener at Oakland. Cora said he hoped to avoid using RHP Nick Pivetta or LHP Chris Murphy on Sunday so one could pitch Monday and the other Tuesday. The A's will start RHP Paul Blackburn .
