PITTSBURGH -- The most consistent trait of the 2026 Cubs has been ... their inconsistency. The club's puzzlingly erratic play hit a historic milestone with Tuesday night's 12-1 defeat to the Pirates at PNC Park, the 10th straight loss for a team that has also reeled off two 10-game winning

PITTSBURGH -- A national holiday, a change of venue and a strong start by Ben Brown could not change the Cubs’ fortunes on Monday afternoon. Light-hitting Henry Davis’ home run in the seventh inning lifted the Pirates to a 2-1 victory and sent the Cubs to their ninth straight loss

The first two months of the MLB season have seemingly flown by. Although, for the 10 players listed below, most of that period probably felt like an eternity while they were mired in early-season slumps.

CHICAGO -- When the Cubs enjoyed a long string of wins that piled up in late April and continued into early May, consistent performance and length from the rotation was a key to the ballclub’s formula. The lineup’s recent lull has garnered the most attention, but the starting staff has

CHICAGO -- Edward Cabrera was scheduled to play catch and test things off a mound on Sunday morning at Wrigley Field. It soon became clear that the results did not match Cabrera’s recent optimism that he would not miss a start for the Cubs. Prior to Sunday’s 8-5 loss to

CHICAGO – The lineup that Cubs manager Craig Counsell rolled out on Saturday afternoon had a much different look from what has been his typical alignment. Pete Crow-Armstrong was shifted into the leadoff spot. Nico Hoerner hit cleanup for the first time in four years. Ian Happ was on the

CHICAGO – Nico Hoerner has tried this bit of defensive wizardry before, and even those efforts – whether during drills in Spring Training or in a game – wowed any and all onlookers. On Saturday afternoon, the Cubs’ second baseman pulled it off. In the fifth inning of a 3-0

CHICAGO – Kevin Alcántara has made the trip to Wrigley Field twice previously, but both of those promotions came in September. The outfield prospect got to check off some firsts as a big leaguer, learned the ropes and experienced a late-season playoff push. On Saturday morning, Alcántara was back at

Kaleb Wing's Single-A debut could not have gone any better. Wing -- the Cubs No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline -- fired four scoreless innings in his first start for Single-A Myrtle Beach on Friday night. The 19-year-old right-hander allowed one hit while recording six strikeouts and did not walk

Pedro Ramírez's breakout season just keeps getting better and better. After tearing up Triple-A and needing just 37 games to set a new career high for home runs, he got called to the big leagues for the first time today. After the Cubs placed Matt Shaw on the 10-day injured

CHICAGO -- It is a play that Pete Crow-Armstrong has made countless times throughout his life as a center fielder. He charged in, lowered his glove and prepared to retrieve the ball that Brewers third baseman David Hamilton sent bouncing through the grass in center on Wednesday night. The loud

We’re less than two months away from the Draft now, with high school playoffs rolling on and colleges in conference tournament play. It might have been efficient to do this week’s mock draft in person at the SEC Tournament in Alabama, because it felt that pretty much every scouting director

CHICAGO -- After Edward Cabrera’s opening fastball in the fourth inning sailed high on Wednesday night, Cubs catcher Carson Kelly tossed the ball back to the pitcher and immediately looked in the direction of the home dugout. Cubs manager Craig Counsell was already en route to the mound.
