Justin Steele went on the IL earlier this week due to what was being called elbow tendinitis. That’s the same injury he dealt with near the end of the 2024 season, and Steele’s initial comments were that this might only require a minimum stay on the shelf just like the [...]

The Cubs are sending Justin Steele for a second opinion on his elbow, manager Craig Counsell told reporters (including Alden González of ESPN and Maddie Lee of The Chicago Sun-Times). The southpaw landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with elbow tendinitis, a surprising move that came two days after [...]

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Friday’s game threads? All right here. [...]

Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images The Cubs open a series at Dodger Stadium. Friday notes: FIRST THINGS FIRST: The Cubs are 158-205, a .435 winning percentage, in all games at Los Angeles vs. the Dodgers. But they are 52-61, .460, in games right after they have arrived directly [...]

Oh, how I’ve missed these late West Coast starts. And by that I mean it’d be preferable to undergo another gum graft than toil through another string of games that could bleed into the following day. That’s especially true for those of us on Eastern time. The Cubs will mercifully [...]

In bidding farewell (potentially) to Caleb Kilian, we touched on how the former Chicago Cubs' top pitching prospect was designated for assignment on Thursday af [...]

For those who haven’t been around for this column in the past, yes, I know it’s early. The purpose of Quantifying Hope is to track the season on a weekly basis to look at how the Cubs are progressing toward the postseason. As things stand heading into a six-game West [...]

Photo by Kenta Harada/Getty Images Hello, old friend from Tokyo. Since these teams met in Tokyo, the Cubs are 9-4 and the Dodgers are ... 8-4. So which team is better? And the Cubs have, theoretically at least, faced better opponents (D-backs, Padres, Rangers) while [...]

With Justin Steele definitely missing at least one start, the Chicago Cubs might have an unexpected replacement on the way. [...]

The Cubs (9-6) just wrapped up their first homestand of 2025, going 4-2 against a pair of contending teams in the Padres and Rangers at a chilly Wrigley Field. The offense was very productive despite the cold temperatures, scoring 36 runs across those six games. Chicago will get better weather [...]

Jorge Moreno from the Cubs spanish language radio broadcast joins Cotton and Rockett to talk Cubs wins at the cold confines. Plus, which Cubs players Rake, Flake, throw, and Blow? and Danny get hit in the head with an Ian Happ tossed ball. For early and ad-free Bleacher Bunch. Subscribe to [...]

With Caleb Kilian being designated for assignment by the Chicago Cubs, the Kris Bryant trade has officially become a dud. [...]

These assholes again? Ugh. At least we only have to play once a year (plus playoffs hopefully) in this stupid ballpark, where I swear the stadium sound guy has a personal vendetta against me. I don’t know what it is that always rubs me the wrong way there. The fact [...]

I’m not yet sure whether to file this one under “Planting a flag in case something happens,” “Ambiguous language that could mean anything,” or “Legit smoke,” so let’s review a few things. Despite a mildly spotty track record, Mike Rodriguez has broken some contract news in the past and his [...]

Following an MRI on the Chicago Cubs ace, there is a vibe around Wrigley that bad news is on the horizon. [...]

David Banks-Imagn Images There’s something else that this signing would do for the Cubs. With Kyle Tucker off to a great start with the Cubs, the chorus of voices urging Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts to open up the team wallet and sign Tucker to an [...]
