Cubs right-hander Ben Brown suffered a setback in his rehab for a neck injury, putting his availability for the stretch run of the season in doubt.
The Cubs were hoping Ben Brown would factor into their pitching plans for the stretch run. That plan might be on hold after the righty experienced symptoms related to the neck injury that has cost...

This is disappointing news for Brown and the Cubs.
The Japanese right-hander could make a future transition to MLB.

The Cubs sandwiched a streak of 30 unanswered runs between walk-off losses and are now in danger of dropping their second road series in a row after winning nine in a row. A bullpen that had been...
A few weeks ago, the Chicago Cubs went from tons of depth catching options to almost none. Consider that the Cubs lost Moises Ballesteros in a trade, Casey Opitz to retirement, and Christian...
You hate to see seven shutout innings wasted in a late-game bullpen meltdown, but at least we once again got to see Clay Holmes at his best. Keep it going into October, sir. Over 7.0 scoreless...
The Cubs‘ minor league squads got their new series underway on Tuesday and came out with a 2-2 record. Iowa struggled on the mound early and late in their loss. Knoxville’s lineup got...
We’re running out of superlatives for Josiah Hartshorn, who rocketed to the top spot in the Cubs’ prospect rankings in his first season of professional baseball. The switch-hitting first...
There are always exceptions, but the card hype trajectory for a notable baseball prospect usually looks something like this: his first appearance – pretty much always Bowman Chrome at this point –...
The Cubs add a veteran catcher late in the season.
At the risk of turning a molehill into a mountain, I find myself growing more than a little concerned by the Cubs being walked off in three of their last five games. That’s not so much a knee-jerk...
That was a bad, bad, bad loss. And it was a bad, bad, bad loss because it was a bad loss in three distinct ways …. First, any time you have a four-run lead in the 8th inning, you need to be...
The Cubs were positioned to win a second consecutive game against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night with a four-run lead through seven innings. Then the bullpen had another complete meltdown as...
PHOENIX (AP/WGN) — Baseball is a funny game. On the same night they set a franchise record by scoring their 30th unanswered run over three games, the Chicago Cubs snatched the proverbial defeat...

Pinch hitter Ryan Waldschmidt hit a two-run walk-off homer with two outs in the ninth inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks overcame a four-run deficit t
Well, that’s a gut punch. And not just because I have to rewrite so much of this stupid box score at 11:30 pm. Tonight, the Cubs were two strikes away from just a really great evening. And it...
At one point in the fourth inning, Alex Bregman stood up to the plate with runners on second and third, nobody out, and a 3-1 count, which is as juicy as an inning set-up gets. But the good vibes...

Justin Steele was with the Cubs at Chase Field yesterday, which makes sense because he’s been in Arizona as his throwing program ramps up. He threw a live BP session last Friday and then had...
Although the Cubs are not yet THAT close to the Brewers atop the NL Central standings, it’s close enough that the upcoming three and four-game series between the two teams could wind up deciding...
Eventually this won’t be something that justifies a reminder; well, then again, the whole playoff structure will change whenever there is expansion and realignment, so maybe this will be an annual...
That was the Kevin Gausman we’ve been looking for, eh? A veteran bulldog who owns that mound when he’s out there. A guy you look at and think, yeah, that’s a postseason starter right there. Over...
For my 9th birthday, I wanted only one thing: a box of 1990 Topps baseball cards. I was hardly special in that regard. The set’s now-iconic look became iconic in large part because there were a...
This update for the Cubs outfielder is exactly what the fans will love to hear.
Before the season, Major League Baseball decreed that third base coaches will no-seriously-please-comply-now have to stay inside their coaching box when the pitcher is getting ready to deliver....
Monday night’s game in Arizona was mostly a ho-hum affair in which the Cubs cruised to an easy victory behind an excellent effort from Kevin Gausman. There was a fair bit of drama in the top of...
