Cubs' Tyler Ferguson: Returned to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Ferguson to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
Ferguson served as the team's 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets, tossing two scoreless innings in the first game. He could get another chance in the majors later this summer but for now will rejoin the bullpen at Iowa.

Cubs' Trent Thornton: Steps in for save
Thornton earned a save against the Mets on Thursday, retiring all three batters he faced in the 10th inning.
The Cubs are without closer Daniel Palencia, who is on the injured list due to a flexor strain. Jacob Webb earned the team's first save following Palencia's injury, but he was deployed in the ninth inning Thursday and kept the game tied. After Chicago took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th, Thornton was called upon to close things out. He needed just 10 pitches to retire the side in order and notch the second save of his eight-year big-league career. The closer situation for the Cubs is hazy with Palencia out of the picture, so Thornton could be called upon again to close given his strong 2.86 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 17 outings this season. However, he doesn't fit the typical closer profile, as he's recorded only 10 strikeouts across 22 innings.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Rusty but effective in return
Boyd allowed four hits and issued four walks while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Thursday.
Boyd made his return after missing over seven weeks due to a knee injury and subsequent shoulder issue. The lefty kept New York off the scoreboard, though he struggled with his control, throwing just 46 of 76 pitches for strikes and issuing four free passes. Boyd did, however, get a hearty 14 whiffs and recorded big outs when needed, twice stranding a runner on third base. He was understandably on a limited pitch count following the lengthy absence and may need a few more outings before he's ready for a full workload. The veteran hurler's next start is tentatively slated to be against the Padres in Chicago.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: On bench Thursday
Suzuki isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Suzuki will get a chance to regroup Thursday after playing in both games of Wednesday's twin bill and going 0-for-10 at the plate with six strikeouts. Pedro Ramirez will fill in as Chicago's designated hitter and bat seventh.

Cubs' Matt Shaw: Out of Thursday's lineup
Shaw isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Shaw will get a breather Thursday after going 8-for-31 with a homer, eight RBI and seven runs scored across his first 10 games back from the injured list. While he sits, Michael Conforto will pick up a start in right field and bat second.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Idle Thursday
Kelly isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Kelly has gone 6-for-15 with 10 RBI and nine runs scored across his last four games, but the Cubs will keep him on the bench to begin Thursday's contest while Miguel Amaya starts behind the plate.

Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Optioned to Iowa
The Cubs optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Hollowell gave up a solo homer while recording two outs during his appearance Wednesday, and he'll now head back to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for Matthew Boyd (shoulder/knee), who is set to start Thursday's game.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Activated ahead of Thursday's start
The Cubs activated Boyd (shoulder/knee) from the 15-day injured list Thursday, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Boyd will make his return to the Cubs' rotation Thursday with a start in Queens against the Mets. The left-hander has not started a game at the big-league level since early May, as he's been shelved by meniscus surgery and shoulder soreness. Boyd tossed 59 pitches over four innings in his final rehab start, so his workload will be limited Thursday.

Cubs' Ben Brown: Looking at extended absence
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Thursday that Brown has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his neck and will have limited activity for the next month, 104.3 The Score reports.
Counsell also noted that Brown's injury is "very similar" to the one the pitcher dealt with during the 2024 campaign. That year, Brown was sidelined in early June and wound up not appearing in another game for the remainder of the season. The Cubs will have a better idea as to Brown's timetable in one month, but the right-hander is looking at an extended absence.

Cubs' Yosver Zulueta: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
The Cubs designated Zulueta for assignment Thursday.
The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of David Peterson, who was acquired via trade. Zulueta was a trade acquisition himself earlier this month after having been booted from the Mariners' 40-man roster. He'll go through the waivers process again.

Cubs' Luis Peralta: Passes through waivers
The Cubs outrighted Peralta to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.
Over the weekend, the Cubs became the third organization to designate Peralta for assignment in 2026. The 25-year-old lefty was scooped up off waivers on the previous two occasions, but after going unclaimed this time around, he'll stick around in the Cubs organization but will no longer be part of the 40-man roster. Peralta has posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 21:16 K:BB over 15.1 innings at Iowa since the Cubs claimed him May 3.

Cubs' Dansby Swanson: Caps historic doubleheader
Swanson went 3-for-5 with a triple, four RBI, one run scored and a stolen base in the Cubs' 10-5 win over the Mets in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Just hours after erupting for two homers and seven RBI in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, Swanson stayed red hot by delivering a four-RBI performance. His biggest swing came in the sixth inning, when he ripped a go-ahead RBI triple to give Chicago a lead it would never surrender. He also recorded his 10th stolen base of the year in the ninth inning. Swanson's 11 RBI across the doubleheader set a Cubs franchise record, and he has now totaled three homers and 15 RBI through the first three games of the series after entering Tuesday with just 14 RBI over his previous 48 contests. The veteran shortstop also extended his hitting streak to six games, with four straight multi-hit efforts while batting .478 (11-for-23) during that stretch.

Cubs' David Peterson: Dealt to Cubs
The Cubs acquired Peterson from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Cole Mathis (undisclosed), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Peterson had endured a rough season with the Mets, turning in a 6.09 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 68 innings across 16 appearances (eight starts). However, the Cubs will gladly take all the rotation arms they can get at this point, as Edward Cabrera (hamstring) and Ben Brown (neck) became the fifth and sixth Chicago starting pitchers to land on the injured list Wednesday. Peterson is expected to provide immediate aid to the rotation and could make his first start with the Cubs as soon as Friday at Milwaukee, after he threw 79 pitches Sunday in his final appearance with the Mets.

Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Doubles machine Wednesday
Hoerner went 4-for-9 with a walk, four doubles and five runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.
After enduring a brutal slump for much of June, Hoerner is showing signs of life lately. The speedy infielder has gone 8-for-23 across his last four games with six doubles and seven runs scored. Hoerner is still batting only .241 on the season, which is well below the level he's used to, but he has the contact skills to turn things around, and he's at his best when he's getting on regularly and swiping plenty of bases.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga: Grabs fifth win
Imanaga (5-6) earned the win Wednesday against the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.
All four runs Imanaga allowed came via the long ball, as Francisco Alvarez, A.J. Ewing and Mark Vientos each took the left-hander deep. Wednesday continued a troubling trend in which he has surrendered three or more home runs in four of his last six starts. Fortunately for Imanaga, Chicago's offense provided plenty of run support, allowing him to pick up his first victory since May 7. Entering Wednesday, the 32-year-old had posted a 6.64 ERA in his previous seven starts, losing four of them. He'll carry a 4.40 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 88:23 K:BB into his next scheduled outing, which is expected to come during a series against the Padres next week.

Cubs' Pedro Ramirez: Big effort in Wednesday's nightcap
Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, two stolen bases and four runs scored in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.
Ramirez followed up an 0-for-3 performance in the first game Wednesday with the best effort of his rookie campaign. The 22-year-old recorded the first two stolen bases of his MLB career and also set career bests for hits, RBI and runs scored. Ramirez isn't quite an everyday player yet for the Cubs, but the youngster entered the year with some legitimate prospect buzz and is showing signs of promise in the majors.
