Cubs Minor League Wrap: Kane Kepley leads Knoxville past Rocket City
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were excommunicated by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 2-1. Jordan Wicks turned in his second-straight start of five innings and two runs, but he took the loss anyway. Wicks surrendered four hits. He struck out six and walked two. Daniel Palencia pitched a scoreless sixth inning in a rehab appearance. […]
Cardinals 11, Cubs 4: Edward Cabrera gets rocked and Dansby Swanson is injured. How was your Sunday?
Your recap for the Cubs’ 11-4 loss to the Cardinals Sunday is basically in the headline. Edward Cabrera returned from injury, got hit hard and didn’t have command, and then Dansby Swanson took a swing in the third inning and immediately came out of the game. I guess I could wrap things here, but… you […]

Go get ‘em, Edward.
Cubs vs. Cardinals ABC Sunday Baseball Bingo
The Cubs and Cardinals will play the rubber match of this series Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The Cubs took game one Friday afternoon, which was quite the pitchers’ duel only interrupted by a home run swing from Seiya Suzuki for a Cubs win. The Cardinals took Saturday’s game on the strength of a rookie […]
Cubs roster move: Edward Cabrera activated, Javier Assad optioned
Edward Cabrera has been out nearly two months after suffering this injury June 23 in a game against the Mets [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. Yeah, that looks pretty nasty. Cabrera has made three rehab starts and looked pretty good in the last one (granted, Double-A hitters) and s0 he’s being […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Michael Conforto is the Superhero vs. the Cardinals
I picked the wrong week to get comfortable with this Cub team. They haven’t looked very good over the last three days, notwithstanding Clay Holmes’ fantastic outing and a couple of really timely swings. After 39 runs over a five-game stretch, the Cubs follow up with seven runs in the following three games. Feast and […]
Chicago Cubs news — Holmes, Suzuki, Rolison, Zeferjahn, Webb
Today’s Reflections Not only was that the Clay Holmes Friday that I expected with the deadline trade, maybe he actually exceeded my expectations. Almost to the point of placing him in a spot of expecting too much from him in the future. But it sounds like Holmes has a great handle on his personal evaluation: […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Smokies roll past Trash Pandas, 4-1
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were swept in a doubleheader by the Saint Paul Saints (Twins), 6-0 and 5-4. Grant Kipp started game one and gave Iowa three strong innings with no runs and no hits. He did walk three batters, however, while striking out four. Hoby Milner relieved Kipp as part of his rehab […]
Cardinals 8, Cubs 4: Joshua Baez’s 3-HR debut crushes Matthew Boyd
I don’t really like putting photos of Cubs opponents as the lead image on these recaps, but as I did after Thursday’s game in Washington, I felt I had to do that again for this one, even though it’s a Cardinal, because the story of this game is Joshua Baez, the top Cardinals prospect who […]

Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals preview, Saturday 8/15, 1:20 CT
There’s rain in the forecast this afternoon so here’s the local radar for you to keep handy: Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Cardinals lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Michael McGreevy, RHP I’ll just keep posting these numbers because they sound ace-like: Since his return from his knee injury, in nine starts Matthew Boyd has posted a […]

SB Nation Reacts: Pete Crow-Armstrong should be NL MVP
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cubs fans and fans across the country. Earlier this week I asked you a Cubs-related question in the SB Nation Reacts survey, but we’re going to start this one with the national question asked […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Clay Holmes is the Superhero vs. the Cardinals
I don’t want to be hasty. But I think Clay Holmes might be healthy. I mean it could also be that the Cardinal offense isn’t particularly terrifying. But he handcuffed them all day long. I don’t think I’m engaging in hyperbole to suggest that was one of the best starts this year by a Cub. […]
Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Swanson, Suzuki, Ramirez
Today’s Reflections “The difference between night and day”. Definition: two things are totally opposite or completely different from each other. That’s what baseball fans witnessed in Washington, D.C. over a 24-hour period. The time period ended Thursday afternoon. Kevin Gausman struck out seven in his 4.2 IP, but surrendered six runs on seven hits and […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Smokies hang on to beat Trash Pandas, 5-4
Iowa Cubs Rained out. Doubleheader tomorrow (Saturday). Knoxville Smokies The Knoxville Smokies reached escape velocity against the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Angels), 5-4. Another strong start from rising prospect Luis Martinez-Gomez, who gave up a solo home run in the first inning and not much else. Martinez-Gomez got the win after going five innings and […]
Cubs 3, Cardinals 0: Clay Holmes’ pitching and a Seiya Suzuki three-run homer
Now be honest. You were thinking “Here we go again” after the Cubs didn’t have a hit through the first four innings — just like Thursday in Washington. And this was true even though the Cardinals didn’t have a hit through five, thanks to Clay Holmes mowing down St. Louis hitters. Fortunately, all’s well that […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Cardinals series preview
This series wraps up Cubs vs. Cardinals for this year (barring an unlikely postseason matchup). After struggling vs. the Cardinals in their first two series of 2026, the Cubs took three of four in St. Louis last month and so the season series is tied at five wins each. For more on the Cardinals, here’s […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Aaron Civale is the Superhero vs. the Nationals
This is going to be a quick one. I watched this game for about three innings before heading off with my family for dinner. Boy, did I pick a good one to miss. I basically announced I was trust falling with this team yesterday and then I splatted into this game. Yuck. The Cubs offense […]
