Suzuki Returns, Swanson To the Injured List
The injuries won’t stop. Seiya Suzuki was finally reinstated from the Injured List tonight, but won’t start in Friday’s game. He was only in Iowa a few days, so it’s nice to see him back. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him DH for a few days, with Bellinger in right and PCA in center…

I was in favor of moving Morel for starting pitching, specifically from the Seattle Mariners. However, the Cubs front office decided they didn’t get a…

By: Jacob Zanolla The Cubs have made two roster moves ahead of tonight’s game against the San Diego Padres. First off, Cody Bellinger is back!!

What Should the Cubs Do With Pete Crow-Armstrong?
By: Jacob Zanolla Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki should be returning this week, which is awesome for the Cubs offense. However, it puts Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA) in a tough spot. First off, I want to mention how fun it is to watch him play. I was able to see him in person for the last…

Cubs Roster, Injury Update
By: Jake Russell The Cubs started the weekend by sending down Matt Mervis, and recalling Miles Mastrobouni from AAA Iowa. This was pretty easy to see coming, but also sad as it’s the second MLB stint for Matt Mervis that has resulted in a demotion to AAA. He hit just .115 and had a -14…

Luis Arraez Traded to the Padres, Who Should the Cubs Inquire About?
The Padres once again shocked the world with another trade, this time acquiring Luis Arráez from the Miami Marlins. There had been many rumors and connections between Arráez and the Padres, but I wasn’t expecting a deal to come to fruition so early into the season. The Padres acquired Arráez and cash considerations, with four…

Cubs SWEEP The Astros!
By: Jake Russell I know the Astros record is terrible and all, but man, a three game sweep of this team is so impressive–especially in the fashion that they did it. The Astros came into the series 4th in team wRC+, at 118, and the Cubs held them to just 6 runs all series, as…
