  • Cubs' Julian Merryweather: Takes first loss

    Merryweather (0-1) gave up two runs (one earned) while retiring two batters to take the loss Sunday against the Phillies. He allowed one hit and three walks.

    Merryweather's control eluded him as he took his first loss of the season in the 3-1, 10-inning defeat. Despite the hiccup, the righty has mostly pitched well for the Cubs, registering a 2.45 ERA and 10 strikeouts across 11 frames. Merryweather struggled with injuries last year as he posted a disappointing 6.60 ERA in 15 innings of work, but he looks healthier and more effective in 2025. His control remains a concern, however, as he now has a 4.9 BB/9, which could lead to some rough outings down the road.

  • Cubs' Ryan Pressly: Tosses scoreless frame Sunday

    Pressly (knee) pitched one scoreless inning, allowing one walk in Sunday's 3-1 extra-inning loss to the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

    Pressly made his first appearance out of the bullpen in a week Sunday, tossing a scoreless top of the ninth to keep the score knotted up at 1-1 ahead of the bottom of the frame. The right-hander has been dealing with right knee irritation and hadn't pitched since having his knee drained Tuesday. After a slow start to his first campaign in Chicago, the right-hander has now compiled nine consecutive scoreless appearances, posting a 1.00 WHIP with four strikeouts while picking up two wins and three saves over nine innings in April.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Fans two in no-decision

    Taillon did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss against Philadelphia. He allowed a run on five hits over seven innings while striking out two.

    The lone blemish on Taillon's outing was an RBI single by Trea Turner in the third inning. It was the first time Taillon threw more than six innings this season while he registered his third quality start. He tossed 60 of 88 pitches for strikes and turned in his first start without a walk since his season debut March 28. Taillon is sporting a 4.01 ERA with a 26:7 K:BB through 33.2 frames. He's in line to start in Milwaukee next weekend.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

    Roberts was recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A on April 9 and allowed just one run over his first 6.1 innings in the majors. However, the 27-year-old right-hander struggled in his last outing against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk over two innings. Tom Cosgrove was recalled by the Cubs from Iowa to provide a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Cubs' Tom Cosgrove: Recalled by Cubs

    The Cubs recalled Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

    Cosgrove started the season with the Padres but was traded to the Cubs on April 10. He tossed four scoreless innings in Triple-A while logging seven strikeouts, and he'll move to the majors to provide left-handed depth out of the Cubs' bullpen. Ethan Roberts was optioned to Iowa in a corresponding move.

  • Cubs' Jon Berti: Tallies three more hits Saturday

    Berti went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.

    After collecting two hits Friday, Berti tallied three singles Saturday to raise his season batting average to an even .300. The veteran utility player doesn't offer a ton of power, but he's seeing the ball well at the moment and has good speed with seven stolen bases in seven attempts this year.

  • Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Struggles Saturday

    Roberts allowed four runs on three hits and a walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies. He struck out one.

    Starter Ben Brown was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in 3.2 innings, but Roberts wasn't much more effective out of the bullpen. The righty came into the contest with a tidy 1.42 ERA, which ballooned to 5.40 after Saturday's outing. Roberts should stick in a middle-relief role for the Cubs for the time being, giving him limited fantasy upside.

  • Cubs' Ben Brown: Tagged for six runs in loss

    Brown (2-2) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five across 3.2 innings.

    Brown went through the first three frames with relative ease but got rocked in the fourth inning, allowing a base runner in five straight at-bats and giving up six runs before being lifted for Drew Pomeranz. Brown has yielded at least five runs in two of his last four outings and has allowed 34 hits through 25.1 innings, which is fifth most among qualified starters in the National League. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against Milwaukee, assuming he sticks in the rotation.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Knocks in three runs Saturday

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.

    Suzuki put the Cubs on the board in the fifth inning on a two-run single, and he brought home another run in the seventh frame on a single to center field. Suzuki has logged two hits in each of his last three starts, and his 23 RBI on the season is tied for fourth most in the National League.

  • Cubs' Michael Busch: Heads to bench

    Busch is not in Saturday's lineup against the Phillies.

    The Cubs haven't faced many lefties this year, but Busch has yet to make a start against a same-handed pitcher. Justin Turner will start at first base against southpaw Jesus Luzardo.

  • Cubs' Jon Berti: Two hits in Friday's win

    Berti went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.

    Berti has emerged as Chicago's primary third baseman following the demotion of Matt Shaw, and he's provided decent production with a .250 average for the season. The veteran's greatest asset is his speed, as he has seven stolen bases in seven attempts, and he could run more often now that his playing time has increased.

  • Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Shows off speed Friday

    Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies. He also stole two bases.

    Crow-Armstrong is displaying his strength as a base stealer early in the season, as he already has 12 swipes in 13 attempts and he's stolen two bases in each of his last two games. The youngster had 27 steals a year ago while batting only .237 with a .286 on-base percentage. Crow-Armstrong is batting .295 with a .339 on-base percentage so far in 2025, and he could fly past his 2024 steals total if he keeps reaching base at a higher clip.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Delivers two doubles in win

    Happ went 2-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI in Friday's 4-0 win over the Phillies.

    Happ has been in a groove lately, as he's batting .356 over his last 10 games with a home run, six RBI and six runs scored. The veteran outfielder started slowly with a .222 average prior to his recent hot stretch, but he seems to be rounding into his usual form as a productive leadoff hitter for the Cubs.
