Cubs News
The Cubs are gearing up to face the Miami Marlins after a narrow 2-1 victory over the Brewers, but the vibe around the team remains lukewarm with a 3-4 record in the last week, despite an impressive 8.3 runs per game. While the bats are alive, the pitching has been a glaring issue, allowing 6.3 runs per game in that span. Shota Imanaga is looking to bounce back in Miami,his new haircut might just be the slice of luck he needs. Adding to the intrigue, Javier Assad is expected to rejoin the roster, signaling that the Cubs are ready to address past missteps. Meanwhile, the absence of Ben Brown, sidelined for the season with a neck injury, continues to loom over the pitching staff as the Cubs aim to solidify their playoff position.
