Cubs Stuff

It wasn’t the most eventful day in the Cubs’ minor league system. The four teams put up a 2-2 record, but many of the top prospects were quiet on the day. However, the Iowa Cubs had Justin Steele make a rehab appearance, which is a big deal. Steele’s numbers could [...]

Justin Steele made a rehab start for Iowa, allowing three runs, one earned, over 1 2/3 innings in a 6-2 loss at Columbus. Brody McCullough struck out 10 over five scoreless innings for Knoxville, which fell 5-1. [...]

At the start of the 2025 season, among many other happy things, the Chicago Cubs were expected to have a real ace at the front of the rotation in Justin Steele. The lefty was coming off his third straight brilliant campaign, and the Cubs were going to be competitive. The [...]

Justin Steele started his minor-league rehab outing on Wednesday, leaving room for hope that he can still help the Chicago Cubs this season. [...]

Jed Hoyer called his shot. OK, so it wasn’t exactly a Babe Ruth moment pointing to the bleachers, but it did occur in the same place — the cathedral that is Wrigley Field. On the morning of June 5, the Cubs president of baseball operations sat in the third base dugout and [...]

Closer Jacob Webb took a line drive off his pitching arm Wednesday night, dealing yet another blow to a Chicago Cubs bullpen that's struggled mightily of late. [...]

Seeing bullpen implosions in my dreams these days … Losing repeatedly to the Brewers under any circumstances is annoying. Doing so to fully and finally allow any dreams of the division to slip away is depressing. And doing so by blowing leads, wasting a big offensive night against Jacob Misiorowski, [...]

Between Seiya Suzuki, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman, the Cubs had plenty of offensive stars to celebrate in August. Here's how the three stars stack up for Chicago's hitters of the month. [...]

Seiya Suzuki is making a case for the Louisville Silver Slugger award, but an even stronger case for what the Chicago Cubs must do this offseason. [...]

Get hot at the right time. That’s some portion of the battle. On paper, the Cubs‘ front office has done as many things as possible to field a playoff team, perhaps even one that’s good enough to compete for a World Series title, but the difference between celebrating in October [...]

If I had told you coming into the game that the Cubs would score five earned runs on Jacob Misiorowski, the first time he’s given up more than three earned this season, you probably wouldn’t have believed me. They jumped on the Cy Young in waiting with a leadoff walk [...]

Everyone is going to have the same take about this game tonight — not because it’s a cliché, but because it’s so obviously true (and especially painful) when it happens: If you score five runs off the best pitcher in baseball, you gotta find a way to win. The Cubs put [...]

That would be the icing on the cake, wouldn’t it? Jacob Webb is the *literal* only trusted reliever in the Cubs bullpen at the moment (and even he has been faltering of late), but tonight, he had to exit the game after just seven pitches after taking a line drive [...]
