Former almost-a-Cub Zac Gallen is pitching well this year. Hopefully the real Cubs can get to him.

The offense is on fire right now. What a heater this has been. Hopefully old friend archenemy Freddy Peralta doesn't shut them down today.

I saw the Super Mario Galaxy movie yesterday with a cousin during the game, and despite the... questionable quality of the film, it appears I made the right call. Perhaps another cousin will request a celebration of Shrek's 25th anniversary to protect me from an impending sweep...

Truly one of the Cubs games of all time yesterday. Just a masterclass in how to blow a masterpiece performance. Can't wait to see what Craig Counsell has drawn up for today.

When it rains, it pours. Less than two days after Cade Horton was placed on the injured list with a forearm strain, Opening Day starter Matthew Boyd has joined him there with a bicep strain. Boyd hasn't had the best start to the 2026 season, though he's looked downright filthy at times while flashing a 45.9% strikeout rate. In his stead, swingman Javier Assad will return from Triple-A Iowa to take his place back in the rotation. Colin Rea will replace Horton. Including Justin Steele, who is still recovering from elbow surgery, and Jordan Wicks, who has been dealing with elbow inflammation since the start of camp, the Cubs are now down four starting pitchers. The next man up would be Ben Brown, perhaps followed by top pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins. View full rumor

You know what would help ease some anxieties about Horton? A vintage Shota performance. MON TUE WED THU FRI TOT Brown, B 0 0 0 0 0 0 Milner 0 19 0 0 10 29 Webb, J 0 0 0 0 29 29 Maton 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thielbar 0 14 13 0 0 27 Harvey 0 22 20 0 30 72 Palencia 0 16 9 0 0 25 Rea 42 0 0 0 57 99
