CHICAGO -- The Cubs were hopeful that Phil Maton’s last trip to the injured list -- combined with the All-Star break -- would give the veteran reliever ample time to rest the right knee that has been a persistent issue dating back to last season. That turned out to be

CHICAGO – As the second half arrives for the Cubs, the ballclub is hopeful to have two of its starting pitchers returning from the injured list soon. Prior to Friday’s game against the Twins, Cubs manager Craig Counsell noted that right-hander Jameson Taillon (15-day IL, left hamstring) is set to

CHICAGO -- After fouling off a pitch from Brewers lefty Aaron Ashby in the seventh inning on Sunday afternoon, Matt Shaw made a fist before shaking his left hand. Later in the game, Cubs manager Craig Counsell pinch-hit for Shaw as discomfort in his hand and wrist persisted.

MILWAUKEE -- There was never a clear explanation for the neck injury that cost Ben Brown the final three-plus months of his season two years ago. It was a perplexing setback that had the pitcher and the Cubs searching for answers without any firm conclusions. Brown landed on the 15-day

NEW YORK -- The Cubs’ rotation took another hit on Wednesday, when Chicago placed right-hander Ben Brown on the 15-day injured list -- retroactive to Sunday -- because of a left neck strain, a problem he has been dealing with dating back to June 13 when he faced the Giants

NEW YORK -- Cubs right-hander Edward Cabrera was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, a day after he left Chicago's 9-6 victory over the Mets at Citi Field with a strain of both his left hamstring and left adductor. In a corresponding move, the Cubs selected the contract of

The Cubs, dealing with a multitude of starting pitching injuries in 2026, now appear unlikely to get one of their key pieces back to the rotation before 2027. Left-hander Justin Steele, who is recovering from left elbow surgery, likely won’t be stretched out and ready to start games by the

Given the potential outcomes, what the tests revealed could be categorized as good news. On Saturday, Cubs manager Craig Counsell noted that an MRI on

CHICAGO -- Edward Cabrera wore a look of frustration as he headed off the mound following a chat with manager Craig Counsell and head athletic trainer Nick Frangella on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. The pitcher was doing what he could to keep going, but it was clear his outing

DENVER -- In the latest blow to their pitching staff, the Cubs are anticipating being without veteran Jameson Taillon until the second half of the season. Prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Rockies, the North Siders placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list due to a left hamstring injury.

DENVER – When the Cubs began this season with Matt Shaw in a versatile utility role, it helped manager Craig Counsell with his in-game maneuvering and played a part in Chicago having a deep and productive reserve group. On Tuesday, the Cubs activated Shaw from the 15-day injured list and

CHICAGO -- Jameson Taillon stood by his locker Sunday night and tried to offer what little clarity he could. There would be imaging Monday. There would be more answers then. There was no sense, at least initially, that the left hamstring strain he sustained in the Cubs’ 2-1, 10-inning loss

CHICAGO – The Cubs are hoping that Edward Cabrera’s stint on the injured list can wind up being something that helped him get a quality mid-season break in preparation for some important months ahead. The righty’s recent reset came to an end on Friday afternoon. As planned, Cabrera was activated

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
