Edward Cabrera Looks Ready to Return to Rotation After 5 No-Hit Innings at AA
The Cubs are quickly about to go from not enough pitching to too much, and one of the major reinforcements will be Edward Cabrera.

Watch: Ian Happ Goes Yard in Kansas City to Build on Cubs’ Lead
Ian Happ has been scuffling lately, but his power is starting to show up in Kansas City. He belted a home run in yesterday’s game — his first since July 30 in Saint Louis — and he’s just gone yard again. Does this mean that Happ is off the schneid now?

Chicago Cubs Lineup (8/8/26): Holmes Sure Lock to Dominate in Cubs Debut
Raise your hand if you freaked out a little bit when Kevin Gausman, a workhorse by today’s standards who was brought in to solidify the rotation, took a comebacker off the lower leg last night.

Chris Russo Dogs Crow-Armstrong Over Ruth Comments
Pete Crow-Armstrong went on a podcast last week and said with a laugh that he likes the theory that Babe Ruth never existed.

Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (8/7/26): Cubs 6, Royals 4 – Gausman Shines in Debut

New Pitching Additions Loving Playoff Atmosphere, Superior Defense Since Joining Cubs
Lost in the shuffle of the Cubs’ deadline moves is the trade for David Peterson a little over a month earlier.

Quantifying Hope: Hot Stretch Pushes Cubs’ Odds Near Body Temp
Losing three out of five to the Cardinals and Yankees wasn’t a great look for the Cubs, especially when they scored only three runs in the losses.

Will Cubs Extend Seiya Suzuki or Go Cheaper as They Await Prospects?
Ian Happ isn’t the only Cubs outfielder facing free agency. Power-hitting right fielder Seiya Suzuki is also due to test the market, though his consistent-enough numbers give him a slightly better chance than Happ of remaining with the Cubs. I’d give Matt Shaw the edge over Kevin Alcántara for the right-handed backup/platoon job, and I … The post Will Cubs Extend Seiya Suzuki or Go Cheaper as They Await Prospects? appeared first on .
