Cubs News
The Cubs are in a tight spot as they navigate a pitching crisis, placing Edward Cabrera on the IL and scrambling for reinforcements by acquiring David Peterson from the Mets. Peterson, despite a shaky 6.09 ERA this season, is expected to bolster a rotation that’s become increasingly thin. Meanwhile, Dansby Swanson is on fire, making history with 15 RBIs in a single series, proving he’s the backbone of an offense that’s averaged nearly 6 runs per game over the last week. The team’s recent win against the Mets, a 10-5 romp, has elevated their spirits as they sit three games behind in the division, but the pitching woes cast a shadow over their momentum. With the addition of Bryse Wilson from waivers, the Cubs are doing everything they can to stay competitive in a challenging season.
