Ben Zobrist to resume his minor league assignment Thursday with Class A Myrtle Beach

Switch-hitting infielder Ben Zobrist will resume his minor league assignment Thursday at Class A Myrtle Beach, the Cubs announced.

Zobrist is scheduled to play three games for the Pelicans, who host the Winston-Salem Dash on Thursday and then the Wilmington Blue Rocks starting Friday.

He recently completed a three-game stint at Class A South Bend, going 2 for 9 with one RBI, one walk and two strikeouts.

The 38-year-old hasn't played for the Cubs since May 6 and currently is on the restricted list. Zobrist and his wife Julianna filed for divorce in separate states.

Zobrist was batting .241 in 26 games this season prior to leaving the team to attend to personal matters.

On Monday, Cubs GM Jed Hoyer called it a "fluid situation."
