Cubs vs. Brewers Saturday 6/27 game threads
Cubs 8, Brewers 2: David Peterson’s first Cubs start is a success 2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Seiya Suzuki is the Superhero vs. the Brewers Cubs vs. Brewers, Saturday 6/27, 6:10 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Saturday 6/27, 6:10 CT
Cubs roster move: Bryse Wilson added, Jayden Murray optioned
Right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson was claimed on waivers by the Cubs from the Phillies earlier this week. And now, he’s on the active roster (Bluesky link): Wilson had eight years in the major leagues before 2026, with the Braves, Pirates, Brewers and White Sox. He was pretty bad for the Sox last year (6.65 ERA […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Colin Rea is the Superhero vs. the Brewers
You can’t say you didn’t see this one coming. It would have been great to get one of those “because baseball” games. But it’s always important to remember that sometimes Goliath just squashes David, the Globetrotters virtually always win and The Miz and the Brewers are going to beat the Cubs in Milwaukee. It’s a […]
Brewers 6, Cubs 2: Seiya Suzuki homers off Jacob Misiorowski, but it’s not enough
Well, come on. You didn’t really think the Cubs would defeat Jacob Misiorowski, did you? The thing is, though, that they did pretty much hold Misiorowski and the Brewers even while the Milwaukee fireballer was still in the game. Then the Cubs had another bullpen meltdown and Milwaukee won the game 6-2. For anyone who […]
Chicago Cubs news — Swanson, PCA, Boyd, Brown, Maton
Today’s Reflections After Dansby Swanson’s four RBI in Wednesday nightcap of the double-header with the Mets, PCA’s RBI double in the 10th inning gave the Cubs a 4-3 win and a four-game sweep of the Mets. Yes, it was the Mets. But this was much needed momentum going into the Brewers’ series. A lot writers […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Jace Beck strikes out 11 as Smokies keep winning
Iowa right-hander Tyler Beede has elected free agency. Right-hander Zac Leigh goes from the ACL Cubs to Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Anhuar Garcia was promoted to Low-A Myrtle Beach from the ACL Cubs. Everybody won! Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs skinned the Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays), 12-1. Andrew Wantz gave up a run in the top […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers preview, Friday 6/26, 6:45 CT
Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Brewers lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP Well, this looks like a mismatch. Colin Rea did have a good start in his last outing, last Saturday vs. the Blue Jays, allowing no runs in 5.1 innings. He has not faced the Brewers this year. Current Brewers are batting .316 […]

On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Brewers series preview
The Cubs enter this series trailing the Brewers by 6.5 games in the NL Central. With half a season to go, that’s not an insurmountable lead. And yet, the Cubs were swept by the Brewers last month at Wrigley Field and outscored 19-5 in the three games. They’ll need to make some sort of better […]
The David Peterson trade by the numbers
The good news is that the Cubs scraped together a four-game sweep during their trip to Queens, where the bats came alive to help the North Siders win their fourth series in a row. But there was also more bad news on the starting pitching injury front. First, Edward Cabrera hit the injured list after […]
A look at the 2026 Cubs at the season’s halfway mark
Let’s look at the season this way for a moment. If, on Opening Day, I had told you the Cubs would be 44-37 after 81 games, you’d have probably been a bit disappointed. That’s an 88-win pace, which is good, but fewer wins than last year and probably not enough to win the NL Central. […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Trent Thornton is the Superhero vs. the Mets
Well, that game was at least a little differently shaped. Sort of. The Cubs broke out to a three-run lead after both starters were excellent. Then the porous Cub bullpen slowly gave back the lead with three different relievers being charged with a run each. But they scored in the tenth and held on. A […]
Cubs 4, Mets 3: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 10th-inning double produces a series sweep
This one wasn’t as easy as the other three games in this series appeared to be. It took 10 innings, a double from Pete Crow-Armstrong and some lockdown relief from Trent Thornton — as well as more sketchy Mets defense — to give the Cubs a 4-3 win over the Mets and a sweep of […]
MLB News: Shohei Ohtani, Dalton Rushing drama, CBA negotiations, All-Star Game
Happy Friday, one and all! As some of you might have predicted, after Phase 1 of the All-Star voting was completed, there were no Cubs on the shortlist. Outside of the Braves and Dodgers, actually, there wasn’t a lot of team diversity in the top names. But that was kind of to be expected. In […]
Chicago Cubs history unpacked — June 26
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Rodney Myers, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1960 – At Forbes Field, Cubs rookie Ron Santo, making his major league debut, leads Chicago to a sweep of the first-place Pirates. Santo is 3 for 7 and drives in five runs as the Cubs win, […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Smokies dethrone Barons, 5-1
Right-hander Grant Kipp was promoted from Double-A Knoxville to Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Kenten Egbert went back down to High-A South Bend after his one game in Iowa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were trampled to death by the Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays), 15-1. Corbin Martin started this game as a kind of hybrid opener/bullpen game […]

Chicago Cubs vs. New York Mets preview, Thursday 6/25, 6:10 CT
Today’s roster move: Here Thursday notes… Neither team had posted a lineup as of the time this preview posted. Please check BCB social media for tonight’s lineups. Matthew Boyd, LHP vs. Freddy Peralta, RHP Matthew Boyd returns tonight from his second IL stint. The first was due to a bicep issue. After his return then, […]

Cubs roster move: Matthew Boyd activated from injured list, Gavin Hollowell optioned
Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd has had two injured list stints this year, one for a bicep issue, the other for a knee injury suffered while playing with his kids. The latter likely wins “Weird Baseball Player Injury of the Year.” Boyd’s ready to return and so has been activated from the 15-day injured list to […]
2026 Cubs attendance watch: An update at mid-season
The Cubs have played 40 home games, just short of half the season total of 81. (It would have been just above half if not for Sunday’s rainout at Wrigley Field.) Here are some attendance numbers for the season to date. The Cubs have sold 1,397,964 tickets for the 40 dates. That total ranks sixth […]

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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Earlier this week, I asked you what the Cubs’ biggest need is right now: Starting pitching, relief pitching or […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Dansby Swanson and Pedro Ramirez are the doubleheader Superheroes!
I want everyone to be honest with themselves. Ignoring the sequencing, did you think the Cubs would be on a pace for more than 87 wins? I did. So yeah, I’m a little disappointed where this half of baseball ended up. I don’t have to convince any of you that this team left wins on […]
Cubs 10, Mets 5: Dansby Swanson leads the team to a doubleheader sweep
I’ve always been a fan of Dansby Swanson. He plays elite defense and, up to this year, his bat always played well enough. This season, Swanson got off to a very slow start. He had a decent run for a few weeks in April, then went into an extended slump that had him batting .175/.281/.306 […]
