Cubs' Owen Caissie: Potential trade bait?
With the Cubs seeking to make a push toward the World Series this season, Caissie is a candidate to get moved before the trade deadline, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Caissie has been on fire for Triple-A Iowa, posting a .951 OPS and 19 home runs through 73 games. The 23-year-old outfielder seems ready to make his MLB debut, though he's currently blocked by the likes of Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki. The Cubs figure to be active at the deadline as they look to make a push this year, and rival teams will certainly inquire about Caissie as part of any deal, with the potential of him slotting in at the MLB level right away. If he's not traded, Caissie may debut for Chicago in 2026, particularly if Tucker departs in free agency during the offseason.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Looks good heading into second half
While Boyd has pitched more MLB innings already in 2025 than he did the last two seasons combined, he appears to be in "good shape" heading into the second half, Zack Meisel and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic report.
Boyd had an excellent first half of the season for his new organization, registering a 2.34 ERA and 102 strikeouts across 111.2 innings, which earned him an All-Star selection. The veteran lefty has dealt with a variety of injuries the past few years, and he only managed to log 110.2 major-league innings in 2023 and 2024 combined. While Boyd won't pitch in the All-Star Game to preserve his arm for the second half, the club feels good about how he's responded to the increased workload. "Everything we're looking at with Matt is in really good shape," Chicago manager Craig Counsell said. "There's no signs right now of him slowing down. He's getting better." Boyd may have some minor limitations after the break, but he appears to be in a good position to keep helping fantasy managers.

Cubs' Miguel Amaya: Rehab assignment likely coming soon
Amaya (oblique) will likely begin a rehab assignment after the All-Star break and is expected to need about a week's worth of games before returning to the Cubs, MLB.com reports.
Amaya has taken batting practice and completed a few bullpen catching sessions in his rehab work so far, but he's yet to see live game action since landing on the injured list with a left oblique injury on May 24. The backstop now appears to be one step closer to returning to the majors, and when he does, he'll compete with Carson Kelly for work behind the plate, though Kelly has played well this year and is likely to remain Chicago's No. 1 catcher for the time being. Amaya compiled a .280/.313/.505 slash line with four home runs and 25 RBI in 27 games before getting injured.

Cubs' Kade Snell: Selected by Cubs
The Cubs have selected Snell with the 151st overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Snell worked as a two-way player early in his college career but shifted to playing as Alabama's full-time left fielder in 2025. He had a 1.039 OPS with 10 homers in 58 games during his senior season, and he's more of a balanced hitter than a true power threat. He doesn't offer much on the bases and didn't record a steal during his two years with the Crimson Tide.

Cubs' Kaleb Wing: Snagged by Cubs
The Cubs have selected Wing with the 121st overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
A two-way prep player from California, Wing had been a defensive-minded shortstop before breaking out this spring on the mound, where he doesn't have as much history. Wing's fastball was up to 95 mph this spring with a curveball that could be plus. At 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, he should add good weight and likely more velocity in the coming years.

Cubs' Dominick Reid: Goes to Cubs
The Cubs have selected Reid with the 90th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Reid spent his first two years at Oklahoma State before transferring to Abilene Christian for his junior year. He logged a 3.26 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 112 strikeouts in 88.1 innings after only pitching 19.1 innings his first two years combined. His changeup is his best pitch, and it's possible he'll add velocity to his low-90s fastball in pro ball.

Cubs' Kane Kepley: Snagged by Cubs
The Cubs have selected Kepley with the 56th overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft.
There's no sugarcoating the fact Kepley probably won't provide much over-the-fence power in pro ball. The lefty-hitting center fielder is listed at 5-foot-8, 180 pounds and hit three home runs in 61 games this spring as a junior for North Carolina after spending his first two seasons at Liberty. Fortunately, he is a plus defender and plus runner who walked twice as much as he struck out in his lone year for the Tar Heels. He had more hit-by-pitches this year (27) than strikeouts (22), and he's never posted an OBP below .450, so if it all works out Kepley could lead off, at least against righties.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Limits Yankees to one run in win
Imanaga (6-3) earned the win in Sunday's game against the Yankees, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out six.
The only blemish on the Chicago southpaw's performance was a solo homer conceded to Giancarlo Stanton in the second. Otherwise, Imanaga looked masterful on the road versus a New York team that entered this game ranked third in total runs scored. The Japanese star notched his first outing with five or more Ks since returning from a hamstring injury June 26. Imanaga has produced a 2.65 ERA, 0.93 and 48:16 K:BB across 68 total frames. The 31-year-old will likely draw his next start in the team's weekend series after the All-Star break against the Red Sox at home.

Cubs' Ethan Conrad: Picked by Cubs
The Cubs have selected Conrad with the 17th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
A big-bodied outfielder with power and speed, Conrad's one issue is a propensity to chase, but he's made it work so far. His natural lefty swing is geared for opposite-field power, which could cap his power output despite the fact he has plus raw power. Perhaps his top data point is a .920 OPS with a 15 percent strikeout rate with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League last summer. Conrad slashed .372/.495/.744 with seven home runs, an 18.6 percent walk rate and a 14.4 percent strikeout rate in his 21 games at Wake Forrest this spring. He had season-ending shoulder surgery alter diving for a ball in March and probably won't make his pro debut until 2026. He could end up in center field or left field, and first base is also a long-term option, especially if he comes close to reaching his offensive ceiling.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Blasts off in win Sunday
Swanson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
Swanson provided the key blast of the game, helping the Cubs break a 1-1 tie with his 16th home run of the season in the sixth inning. The shortstop has been playing well lately with a .293 batting average, two home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored over his last 10 games. Swanson is a fairly consistent performer who plays nearly every day, giving him a safe fantasy floor heading into the All-Star break.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Goes deep from leadoff spot
Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
Busch batted leadoff for the first time all season, and he made the decision look good right away by belting his 19th home run of the year to start off the game. Ian Happ has been Chicago's leadoff man for most of the season, but the team has experimented with both Nico Hoerner and now Busch the past few days. It will be interesting to see how Chicago structures its lineup coming out of the All-Star break. A move up to No. 1 for Busch on a more permanent basis could allow him to score more runs but would likely decrease his RBI output.

Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Records another save Sunday
Palencia tossed a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout to secure the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
Palencia was needed to put out a fire Saturday, retiring the final two batters of the game to record a save, but he had a more conventional appearance Sunday. The righty came on for the full ninth inning with the Cubs up three runs, and he retired New York in order on 14 pitches to pick up his 12th save of the season. Palencia has emerged as Chicago's clear top closer, and he's been lights-out in the role with a 1.57 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 39 strikeouts across 34.1 innings. Given how well the Cubs are playing, Palencia figures to see plenty of save chances moving forward, which boosts his fantasy profile.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Benched for third straight game
Shaw is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Shaw will close out of the Cubs' first-half schedule having been held out of the lineup for three consecutive games and four of the last five, and he's managed just one hit in 26 at-bats to begin July. Vidal Brujan will get the start at third base after Jon Berti filled in for Shaw over the past two contests, but the Cubs may look to the trade market for an upgrade at the position if the organization isn't convinced that Shaw will be able to improve his offensive production coming out of the All-Star break.
