The Chicago Cubs made two roster decisions.
Nicky Lopez was designated for assignment to open a spot for outfielder Kevin Alcantara, who was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
And Ty Blach, who had been DFA'd by the Cubs one week ago, elected free agency, cleared waivers, and then signed right back with Chicago on a new minor league deal the same day.
Ty Blach recently elected free agency after being DFA’d by the #Cubs last week. But he is now back in the organization https://t.co/wXMIyDwdCr —...
Charlotte Knights 4, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 0The Knights (27-25) leaned on a stellar night from the pitching staff and just enough timely offense to blank Jacksonville. Charlotte struck first in the second inning when Dru Baker showed off some thump, yanking his sixth homer of the season to bring home two runs and give the […]
The offense came up short for the Good Guys, going 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in a frustrating 5-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins on the South Side tonight. This game had all the emotions: annoyance that the bats couldn’t ignite, excitement from a game-tying homer, shock after the go-ahead run was thrown out […]
It was a pitching duel tonight with the starters Joe Ryan and Sean Burke exchanging zeros for the first 3 innings before the Twins scored first in the 4th. Trevor Larnach started things off with a double, then Kody Clemens drove him in with a triple. A single by Austin Martin scored Clemens to give […]

Some movement in the system today as outfielder Josiah Hartshorn and right-hander Mason McGwire were promoted from Low-A Myrtle Beach to High-A South Bend. Both players have been among the best performers in the Cubs minors so far this season. Also, shortstop Alex Madera and first baseman Cameron Sisneros were promoted to Double-A Knoxville from […]
The White Sox brought themselves back to a game above .500 after a rough road trip, and will aim to defeat the Minnesota Twins for the eighth time in a row tonight. Sean Burke had himself an excellent April — 2.73 ERA in 29 2/3 innings — but has fallen flat this month, holding a […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates preview, Tuesday 5/26, 5:40 CT
The Cubs are exactly one-third of the way through the 2026 season. Nine games ago, at 29-16, they had a .644 winning percentage, which would be a 104-win pace for a full season. Now? After 54 games and on a nine-game losing streak, their 29-25 record is on pace for just 87 wins. So which […]
With so much discourse over the strength of Chicago’s pass catchers this year as well as the concerns shared over the pass rushers, it got me thinking about previous position groups that have led the Bears and others that weighed their respective team down. Here we take a look at some of the most noteworthy […]
This weekly feature, which normally posts on Mondays, is running today because Monday was a holiday and there was a day game to keep our minds occupied, not that the result of that day game was any good. This edition of “who’s hot, who’s not” includes the games of the recently-completed homestand and doesn’t include […]
Closer looks at a pair of rookies who split time between Chicago and Rockford this season.
I’ve written about more than a thousand Cubs games in my years doing this. Never before has this felt more like Groundhog Day. For 23 games, this team overachieved. They caught a lot of breaks and came through in what felt like every big situation. It felt like every single day I was writing that […]

1959White Sox owner Bill Veeck was always good for a crazy stunt, but this one topped the cake. Before a game hosting Cleveland and in front of 40,018 fans, four little people dressed up as Martians “landed” at Comiskey Park (via helicopter) and “captured” Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio. One of the Martians was 3´7´´ Eddie Gaedel. Terms were discussed for […]
Today’s Reflections Ben Brown’s performance on Monday was tremendous. Six one-run innings on four hits and a pair of walks in a campaign to make himself the No. 1 out of ….. what’s left. No much else to say. Nice homer, Michael. Way to go, defense, to not let the two errors you made cost […]

The Cook County treasurer’s office released a report this morning on the fiscal impact of the proposed “megaprojects” tax break bill that Chicago Bears execs are pushing for, and concluding: “The benefits for the Bears and other megaproject developers are clear, while the benefits for Illinois residents are murky.” there are a bunch of interesting tidbits […]
