Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa routs the Saints, 21-7
The Cubs signed left-hander Josh Fleming and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. Iowa right-hander Andrew Wantz went to the development list. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs condemned the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 21-7. Or maybe the Hawkeyes beat the Gopher by two touchdowns. Josh Fleming made his Cubs debut and allowed two runs on four […]
Orioles 3, Cubs 2: The bullpen melts down, yet again
These are the games that make you want to tear your hair out. The Cubs fashioned a late-inning lead, a lead most bullpens should be able to hold. This Cubs bullpen did not do that. And some questionable baserunning decisions — and questionable replay review calls — didn’t help either. The result was a 3-2 […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Superhero vs. the Orioles
Perspective Check: Four teams with more wins than the Cubs, 91.6 win pace. The Cubs and Phillies had been matching each other, seemingly daily. But the Phillies finally lost on a day when the Cubs won and so the Cubs now lead them by 1.5 games for the top Wild Card spot (though they own […]
Cubs 9, Orioles 7: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s two long balls lead a 5-HR outburst…
The Cubs’ 9-7 win over the Orioles Wednesday evening, their third straight and 18th in their last 24, had a little bit of everything the 2026 season to date has provided. Lots of homers? Check. Some great defense? Check. Some dodgy relief work, pointing out the need for bullpen improvements? Double-check, because the Cubs came […]
Chicago Cubs news — Boyd, Bregman, PCA, Swanson, Amaya

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Phil Maton rehabs with Iowa
Five days after he was released, the Cubs have signed outfielder Chas McCormick and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. If you want to know what that’s about, McCormick invoked his opt-out at the beginning of the month, became a free agent, and then re-signed with the Cubs after he didn’t get a better offer from […]

The Short Porch is checking in on what remains of the Cubs starting rotation

But somehow, the Cubs will enter tonight’s game against the Orioles with a 51-40 record. While that puts them […]

Bucknor had six calls overturned in his first game behind the plate this year, March 28 in Cincinnati: ABS Challenge:Narváez (Ball-Confirmed); Anthony 2 (Strike-Overturned […]

Perspective check: Just four teams with more wins than the Cubs, 91-win pace. For now, I’m just going to keep reminding us. This team has its flaws. We know them intimately because we follow them every day. The rest of the teams, with maybe one or two exceptions, have flaws as well. We don’t know […]
