There’s a chance of rain in Chicago this afternoon, so here’s the local radar for you to keep handy.

Cubs roster move: Antoine Kelly called up, Gavin Hollowell to injured list
In a season when the Cubs have already used 34 different pitchers (plus Carson Kelly pitched once), they’ve added another pitcher to the mix. Left-hander Antoine Kelly, acquired from the Dodgers June 6 for cash considerations, has been called up from Triple-A Iowa and added to the 26-man active roster. Kelly has made 13 appearances […]
On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Yankees series preview
The Cubs will not face old friend Cody Bellinger in this series, as the Yankees outfielder hit the injured list this week with a hamstring strain. Also, as you likely know, the Yankees are spending an entire week in Chicago, having just split with the White Sox in a four-game series on the South Side. […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Kade Snell goes off in 11-8 South Bend win
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs got run over by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Yankees), 11-0. I don’t know why anyone wants the highlights of this one, but starter Jordan Wicks got the loss atter allowing five runs on six hits over five innings. However, only two of the runs Wicks allowed were earned. Wicks walked two […]
Cubs 4, Cardinals 2: Doubles by Alex Bregman and Ian Happ win it in extras
You could be forgiven if you were thinking, as you were watching Thursday’s 4-2, 10-inning Cubs win over the Cardinals, “Didn’t we see this game yesterday?” Tightly fought game? Check. Extra innings? Check. Two-run Cubs lead heading to the bottom of the 10th? Check. This time, Jacob Webb and Aaron Civale held the line on […]

Cardinals 3, Cubs 2: Pete Crow-Armstrong homers in the 10th, but…
I choose to look at the Cubs’ 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Cardinals this way. As you know, the Cubs have had an inordinately large number of injuries to the pitching staff, to the point where there have now been five pitchers who have appeared in exactly one game for the team and several others […]
Chicago Cubs news — Bregman, Hoerner, Suzuki, Rea, Peterson
Today’s Reflections The first two games of the four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals have been a dream of near-perfection for the Cubs. (I hope I’m not jinxing the team when I write this Tuesday afternoon) Alex Bregman, Nico Hoerner and Seiya Suzuki had two games where they were playing out of their collective […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Ethan Conrad leads Pelicans past RiverDogs
In case you were wondering, Casey Opitz was named the catching coach at the University of Northern Colorado today. Opitz is from Colorado and his brother Shane is the assistant head coach there. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were hauled away by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Yankees), 4-3. Jaxon Wiggins started this game and took the […]

Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals preview, Wednesday 7/29, 6:45 CT
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Cardinals lineup: Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Dustin May, RHP Matthew Boyd has been nails since returning from the knee injury suffered while playing with his kids. Oddly enough, the enforced layoff might have actually helped him. In six starts since his return: 2.31 ERA, 1.200 WHIP. That’ll play. Boyd has not […]

Cubs trade target: Sandy Alcántara
If that headline looks familiar, it should, because I wrote one of these at last year’s trade deadline and again last December. To refresh your memory: Alcántara wasn’t traded by the Marlins a year ago at the deadline largely because they were asking for too much in return — which was the same for most […]
Cubs trade target: Foster Griffin
Left-hander Foster Griffin is having a really good year for the Washington Nationals. He’s 12-2 in 21 starts with a 2.76 ERA, 1.032 WHIP and only 28 walks and 113 strikeouts in 124 innings, and he was named to the National League All-Star team. Can I stop for a minute and say “I told you […]
