Well, this really sucks. After missing most of 2018 because of surgery on his left elbow, Nico Hoerner is now expected to miss more time after suffering a setback following a wrist injury in April. Theo Epstein revealed the terrible news about Hoerner on Monday. On April 23, Hoerner was hit on his...
The White Sox got some great news on Monday, as rookie outfielder Eloy Jimenez was officially activated from the injured list. The right-handed slugger last played on April 26, against the Tigers. That's when he injured his ankle, banging it up against the left-field wall at Guaranteed Rate Field....
After leaving Sunday night's game early because of an injury, Cubs shortstop Javier Báez is not in the lineup Monday night against Jake Arrieta and the Phillies. Báez has started every game at shortstop this season, so it was probably just a matter of time before he got an off day. After departing...
After losing their first series since early April, the Cubs went to D.C. and won two of three from the Nationals. Their only loss came on Saturday, when Jon Lester simply wasn't sharp enough and Stephen Strasburg shut down the Cubs offense for the most part. After the 5-2 loss, Lester along with...
Entering Monday's play, Ian Happ had a slash line of .219/.343/.356, in 41 games at Triple-A. He's still taking his walks (26) but Happ is still striking out way too much, 45 in 146 at-bats. Now, Happ is dealing with an injury. During Monday's game with Iowa, Happ took a ground ball off his right...
The Cubs had the worst bullpen in baseball through the first week of the season, but as a unit it has rebounded quickly and with a collective 4.04 ERA it ranks as the 13th best bullpen in MLB. Still not great, but there has been a lot of improvement. However, with the recent injury to Pedro Strop...
The Cubs blew out the Nationals Friday night, scoring 11 runs against Washington's bullpen in a 14-6 victory. Yet, in the bottom of the seventh inning the Cubs were clinging to a 5-3 lead, when their bullpen almost blew it. Brandon Kintzler gave up three hits and a run in the seventh and thanks to...
The Cubs have claimed right-handed pitcher Chandler Shepherd off waivers from the Red Sox. The 26-year-old has struggled at Triple-A this season, posting a 10.01 ERA in 29.2 innings. He's started seven games and has come in one time from the bullpen. The 26-year-old was drafted in 2014. Shepherd...
There were some fans who couldn't wait to replace Kris Bryant with David Bote. It was time to trade Bryant. His shoulder must still be bad, or maybe getting hit on the head was still impacting him. Or maybe he just went through a slump the first couple weeks of 2019 and he's actually the same great...
Kyle Schwarber probably had the best plate appearance of the season Friday night against the Nationals, as he capped off a 13-pitch at-bat with an opposite field, two-run home run. https://twitter.com/Cubs/status/1129572432673693696 Then, Kris Bryant hammered a hanging slider for his second homer...
Albert Almora Jr. hitting a two-run bomb on a 0-2 pitch off Max Scherzer is something that actually happened. Here is video proof. https://twitter.com/Cubs/status/1129531253189992451 https://twitter.com/MLBBarrelAlert/status/1129531204607401985 Almora now has four home runs this season, three...
The White Sox have been playing above .500 baseball for a month, but they continue to deal with injuries to their starting rotation. Lucas Giolito missed a few weeks with a hamstring injury and Carlos Rodon will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Now, another starter...
