Pete Crow-Armstrong is the Cubs’ only All-Star

Major League Baseball chose Saturday evening to announce this year’s All-Star teams — an odd time, in my view, the evening of a holiday — and Pete Crow-Armstrong made the NL All-Star team for the second straight season. Last year he was an elected starter; this year he’ll be a reserve outfielder. Here’s what PCA […]

Cardinals 3, Cubs 0: Lost in the fog

Any time it would like to stop raining in the Chicago area would be fine with me. Saturday’s 3-0 Cubs loss to the Cardinals was delayed 59 minutes before it began by yet another heavy rainfall that drenched the north side of Chicago, then delayed another 15 minutes after the end of the sixth inning […]

Chicago Cubs news — Ramirez, Bregman, PCA

Today’s Reflections Well. That was slap in the face Friday. And the Cubs know how the Padres felt on Wednesday. I had mentioned in the last Cub Tracks that part of the reason that this is an unforgettable season is the big swings in winning and losing streaks. Over the 48 hours between the thrashing […]

Shelby Miller threw live batting practice in Mesa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs got all dirty against the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers), 7-6. Starter Grant Kipp lasted four innings and gave up five runs on five hits. Three of those five hits were home runs, which accounted for all five runs. Kipp walked two and […]

Cubs roster move: Jake Woodford added, Bryse Wilson DFA

Bryse Wilson had one good outing for the Cubs and one bad one, and now he’s gone. The Cubs signed right-hander Jake Woodford to a major league deal today and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Wilson was designated for assignment. Woodford is 29 and began his MLB career with the […]

Chicago Cubs news — Swanson, Conforto, Suzuki, PCA, Busch, Rea

Today’s Reflections Yeah. That was fun Wednesday. Really fun. There is a lot of talk about the 23-3 blasting of the Padres below, and plenty of talk about Dansby Swanson hitting out of his mind, so I won’t regurgitate all the names, numbers and legends involved. I was just reflecting on this first half of […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: BJ Murray, Iowa edge Toledo, 5-4

Ty Blach started and got the win. Blach pitched five innings and gave up three runs on six hits. Blach walked four and struck […]

Cubs roster move: Drew Pomeranz added, Jordan Wicks optioned

During his most recent stint with the Cubs, left-hander Jordan Wicks threw pretty well: Four innings of relief, one run allowed, a pair of strikeouts. He also picked up two saves. Wicks threw 40 pitches in Wednesday’s win over the Padres, and so the Cubs optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on the off day Thursday, […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Cardinals series preview

The Cubs are the hottest team in MLB, having won 15 of their last 19, and the Cardinals, as you’ll see below, are on a skid. Here’s hoping the Cubs keep that skid going. Standings update: The Reds did the Cubs a favor Thursday by defeating the Brewers, so the Cubs enter Friday’s action five […]

Pete Crow-Armstrong named National League Player of the month for June

After a very, very slow start to his 2026 season, Pete Crow-Armstrong turned on the jets in June. (Actually, a bit before that, as I will show you.) In 26 games in June, PCA batted .381/.468/.781 (40-for-105) with five doubles, two triples, 11 home runs, 20 RBI, 21 runs scored, 17 walks and eight stolen […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Biggest outliers

With a little tweak to the information available to this feature, I don’t always have final data at the time I’m writing. A hat tip and a thank you to Al who has taken on a little more work in helping me produce this by cleaning up the numbers in the morning. Unfortunately, that doesn’t […]
