The Chicago Cubs have placed closer Daniel Palencia on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder injury. The 25-year-old blew Sunday's save chance against the Washington Nationals and suffered the loss after exiting the ninth inning with an apparent arm injury. It turned out to be a shoulder issue...
Kyle Tucker last played against the Atlanta Braves on Sept. 2, and in the least shocking development coming from the Chicago Cubs the team appears to have screwed the pooch again. Mismanaging an injured player? Yup, we're talking about the Cubs. Tucker exited last Tuesday's game prior to the...
Soooo, the Chicago Cubs don't have an established closer anymore. Even if this shoulder issue for Daniel Palencia is resolved quickly there's just no way that Craig Counsell is going to have 100% trust in the hard-throwing pitcher heading into October. Sunday's blown save against the Washington...
Before the Chicago Cubs decide how serious they want to be about re-signing Kyle Tucker in free agency they'll have to decide how much longer they want to keep the right fielder on the active roster. It's been a turbulent second-half for the All-Star, but in recent weeks Tucker was finally looking...
Chicago Cubs rookie starting pitcher Cade Horton continued his second-half dominance on Wednesday, but his five-inning, no-hit effort was spoiled after the bullpen allowed five runs to the Atlanta Braves. Fans were incensed when Cubs manager Craig Counsell took Horton out of the game to start the...
The Chicago Cubs have gotten great pitching from the rotation and while a few relievers have remained consistent throughout the year there are some cracks showing in the bullpen. Closer Daniel Palencia had a rough going during August and while Ben Brown has had some solid outings as a multi-inning...
The Chicago Cubs have October baseball to look forward to this year, but there's no doubt that the front office is already planning for the offseason. That includes free agency and obviously the biggest name on the roster is Kyle Tucker, who will be a free agent after the 2025 season comes to an...
Left-handed starting pitcher Austin Gomber was released by the Colorado Rockies back in August and the 31-year-old sounded like a broken man a few days before he was let go. The Chicago Cubs have provided Gomber with a safe landing spot, signing Gomber to a minor league deal and assigning him to...
Sometimes minor league signings get you a little excited even if recent performance doesn't necessarily look good and then some turn out to be surprising like Brad Keller. However, even as a fan who tries to be optimistic about most moves, this one doesn't really do much for me. The Chicago Cubs...
It's been an interesting 2025 season for now top Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins. The long and winding road is ending with the right-handed pitcher jumping up to the Iowa Cubs as Wiggins has reportedly been promoted to Triple-A to finish out the year. Wiggins, 23, began the 2025 minor...
The Chicago Cubs made several minor league signings at the end of August, making sure they added a couple depth pieces for the stretch run and maybe getting lucky with a veteran who gets hot into October. The team also made an underrated signings, getting veteran outfielder Billy Hamitlon. The...
The Chicago Cubs have added some reinforcements for the stretch run in September, but it's come at the cost of their top prospect. Fans have been frustrated by the lack of playing time given to outfielder Owen Caissie, who was called up on Aug. 14, and received 25 total plate appearances. Well, it...
