| Clay Holmes Returns, Cubs Roster Shifts | Chicago Cubs News | 05 Aug 2026 | 00:01:41 | |
Clay Holmes is set to return from his fibula fracture this weekend, throwing 73 pitches in rehab and ready to face the Royals—potentially Saturday—with Kevin Gausman stepping in Friday. Holmes, thrilled to rejoin the Cubs, loves their defense and is open to relief work if it helps the team chase a deep playoff run. Meanwhile, Ian Happ’s at-bats against lefties are down thanks to new outfielder Tyrone Taylor, who debuted Tuesday and gives Counsell more flexibility. And despite hitting his first MLB homer, Kevin Alcántara was optioned back to Triple-A Iowa—though Counsell praised his strong showing and encouraged him to stay ready for his next shot.

| Pete Cron Armstrong Shines Like Never Before | Chicago Cubs News | 25 Jul 2026 | 00:01:48 | |
Pete Cron Armstrong is rewriting baseball history with jaw-dropping stats—375+ hits, .775 slugging, 80 total bases, 10 walks, 5 steals—all in one month. Before August, he already had 22 homers, 5 triples, and 25 steals, a feat last seen in 1970. His 409-foot homer pushed him to 22 homers, locking in his legendary status. For the Cubs, he’s been a beacon amid injuries, leading MLB in fielding run value, outs above average, and runs prevented. Offensively and defensively, he’s elite—5 WAR, second only to Yordan Alvarez, but actually tops on FanGraphs and ESPN, surpassing even Shohei Ohtani. With this pace, MVP is very much in his sights.

Cubs’ top prospects Moises Ballesteros and Kevin Alcantara dropped cryptic social media posts in Cubs gear, sparking fan speculation ahead of the August 1 trade deadline. While the messages could just be motivational reflections—especially since both are currently sidelined in Chicago—timing and their value make this more than coincidence. Ballesteros, a proven hitter, and Alcantara, a standout in the minors, are seen as key trade assets as the Cubs look to bolster their pitching. With roles blocked and the deadline looming, expect some familiar faces to be on the move.

| Mariners Shop Hancock for Bat | Chicago Cubs News | 25 Jul 2026 | 00:01:25 | |
The Mariners are reportedly shopping right-hander Emerson Hancock, a top 2020 draft pick with four years of team control left, as they seek a right-handed bat. Hancock’s strong 2024 season—19 starts, 3.16 ERA, solid WHIP—makes him a valuable asset, especially for teams like the Cubs. With key players underperforming and the team retooling post-playoff run, Hancock’s long-term potential and current form could be key to their future.

The Cubs’ offense went silent again, scoring just one run on Seiya Suzuki’s solo homer, while striking out 12 times. Ian Happ had a solid day with hits, a walk, and a stellar defensive play. Colin Rea gave up a damaging three-run homer but bounced back with key strikeouts and limited the damage to one run. The bullpen stepped up, tossing four innings with seven strikeouts, despite surrendering a run on an RBI double. With the trade deadline looming, whispers swirl around potential pitching acquisitions like Robbie Ray and Emerson Hancock, while Pete Crow-Armstrong’s breakout season and plate discipline comparisons to Anthony Rizzo add fuel to the Cubs’ offseason fire.

The Cubs pulled off a heart-pounding 3-2 win over the Pirates in extra innings, thanks to jaw-dropping defensive plays from Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner that turned the tide. Happ robbed a run at the plate, Hoerner made a diving stop to end a key inning, and Boyd’s stellar seven-inning start set the stage for a comeback fueled by Pete Crow-Armstrong’s homer and a late two-run rally. Manager Counsell and pitcher Boyd praised the team’s elite baseball IQ and relentless effort, as Boyd continues his dominant stretch since returning from injury — now 6-0 with the Cubs in the final stretch.

The Cubs are eyeing a bold move to fix their pitching woes, targeting Angels’ starters Reid Detmers and José Soriano. Detmers offers consistency and elite stuff with team control beyond 2026, while Soriano brings ground-ball prowess and a solid ERA—despite walk concerns. The twist? The Angels want a young catcher, and Cubs’ top prospect Owen Ayers fits the bill. A swap of Ayers for Detmers could reshape Chicago’s rotation and catching corps for years, turning a risky gamble into a cornerstone rebuild.

The Cubs send outfielder Kevin Alcantara back to the minors to make room for rising prospect James Triantos, a move that reflects roster strategy over performance—Alcantara’s limited at-bats and modest stats this season don’t define his future, as prospects often shuttle between levels. With the team seven games behind in the division, this shuffle could signal a push for younger talent or better alignment with current needs. Alcantara’s not out of the picture—his development continues, and another call-up could be on the horizon.

The Cubs are eyeing Angels’ pitchers Jose Soriano and Reid Detmers before the August 3 trade deadline, but they’ll have to part with prized prospect Owen Ayers—a 25-year-old catcher at Triple-A. Both arms, aged 27, boast strong stats and two more years on their deals, making them expensive targets. Insider Bob Nightengale warns the price could rival star pitchers like Tarik Skubal. The Angels aren’t giving them away—so the Cubs’ move hinges on whether they’re willing to pay up for elite rotation help.

The Cubs are poised to unleash their top prospect, James Triantos, in their upcoming series against the Pirates—potentially marking his major league debut. Ranked seventh in the Cubs’ system, Triantos has dominated the minors with over 500 games, a .306 AVG, 7 homers, and 52 RBIs this year in Triple-A.

| Greg Jones Heads to Cubs After Brewers Release | Chicago Cubs News | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:01:30 | |
Greg Jones, the former first-round pick who struggled in his brief MLB stint with the Brewers, is bouncing back with a minor league deal to the Cubs — a rival team currently seven games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. After hitting well in Triple-A Nashville and being DFA’d by the Brewers, Jones opted for free agency and now heads to Iowa, where he’ll try to reignite his career. His versatility — capable of playing outfield and second base — made him a Brewers’ pickup, but his MLB numbers didn’t match his Triple-A form. He’s not alone in this cross-town shuffle — pitcher Jake Woodford made the same move earlier this month. With the Cubs and Brewers set to clash multiple times this season, Jones could very well end up back in Milwaukee’s lineup — if he can find his swing in Iowa. Baseball’s roster churn never stops.

Enter Clay Holmes, the Mets’ injury-riddled pitcher with ground-ball prowess and a solid ERA, now a tantalizing option if he can prove healthy. His rehab start and player option add complexity, but with the Cubs’ rotation in shambles, he’s worth watching closely. The deadline’s chaos is real, but the Cubs are moving fast to find their ace.

Patrick Kane’s emotional return to the Chicago Blackhawks on a two-year, $8M deal signals a seismic shift for the franchise — and maybe the end of his legendary career. Drafted first overall in 2007, Kane helped bring three Stanley Cups to Chicago and became the highest-scoring American-born player in NHL history. After being traded to the Rangers in 2023 and briefly suiting up for Detroit, he’s now back where it all began — just as the Blackhawks embark on a rebuild around rising star Connor Bedard, who’s recovering from shoulder surgery. What started as a “never gonna happen” GM statement has turned into a potential cornerstone of the team’s future.

The Cubs edged the last game 11-2, powered by Dansby Swanson’s solid performance—two hits, three runs, a walk, and a stolen base.

The Cubs quietly signed Greg Jones, a former first-round pick with speed, defense, and minor league power, to a minor league deal — a move that hints at deeper roster maneuvering as the trade deadline nears. Jones, who struggled for consistency in the majors but thrived in Triple-A, could provide depth and intel on Milwaukee, their division rival. With Justin Dean and Kevin Alcantara already in the mix — the latter a powerful but strikeout-prone slugger — this signing may signal the Cubs are preparing to trade Alcantara for a starting pitcher. Every move is under scrutiny as Chicago fights for a postseason spot, and Jones’ arrival could be insurance for the outfield — or a sign of things to come.

Even against tough left-handed arms, his adjusted stance and smarter approach are paying off. And with Jed Hoyer’s reminder that “the homers are cool, but we need you on first base,” Crow-Armstrong is embracing the walk as a weapon — proving his growth isn’t just about power, but about becoming a smarter, more sustainable hitter.
