Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Appears ready to return from IL
Taillon (hamstring) struck out three and allowed one hit and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Iowa.
Making the second start of his rehab assignment, Taillon built up to 53 pitches (34 strikes) and posted an excellent Called Strikes plus Whiffs rate of 32.1 percent. According to MLB.com, Taillon is slated to throw during the All-Star break, and if the Cubs' coaching and training staffs are satisfied with how he looks, the veteran right-hander should rejoin the big-league rotation to begin the second half. Taillon has been on the shelf since June 9 due to a left hamstring strain.

Cubs' Jake Woodford: Clears waivers
The Cubs outrighted Woodford to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.
Woodford will have the ability to elect free agency, but it's unclear if he plans to test the open market or join Iowa following the All-Star break. The veteran right-hander has spent most of the season in the big leagues between stops with the Brewers and Cubs, logging a 7.46 ERA and 1.82 WHIP across 25.1 innings.

Cubs' Jaxon Wiggins: Back in action at Triple-A
Wiggins (elbow) struck out four and allowed three earned runs on three hits and three walks across 2.2 innings in a start Friday for Triple-A Iowa after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Wiggins hit the shelf in April due to right elbow inflammation and was shut down for a brief period before beginning a rehab assignment June 15. He posted a 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with nine strikeouts in 9.1 innings over four appearances across stops with the Cubs' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and High-A South Bend before rejoining the Iowa rotation.

Cubs' Brody McCullough: Back from 60-day IL
McCullough (forearm) was activated from the 60-day injured list Sunday.
McCullough made four rehab appearances while working his way back from season-ending surgery, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 17 strikeouts over 12.2 innings in two showings in the Arizona Complex League and two with Single-A Myrtle Beach. He was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Sunday and looked strong in his first appearance of the year with Double-A Knoxville later that day, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out four in four frames.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Doubles twice in win
Busch went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Reds.
Busch laced his 16th and 17th doubles of the season to help lead Chicago to victory, and he hit them both against southpaw Andrew Abbott to boot. The first baseman goes into the break with five hits across his last two games, but it's mostly been an underwhelming first half following his breakout 2025. Busch has a .763 OPS, 11 home runs and 49 RBI across 95 contests so far this year. In 2025, he finished with an .866 OPS, 34 homers and 90 RBI in 155 regular-season games.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Homers again Sunday
Bregman went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and four total RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Reds.
Bregman goes into the All-Star break with home runs on consecutive days to give himself a little momentum after a mostly uneven first half of the season. The veteran third baseman is batting .241 with a .695 OPS, nine long balls and 41 RBI across 94 contests. During his career, Bregman's best two months by OPS are August and July, so he could be primed for continued success after the break.

Cubs' Jacob Webb: Grabs fourth save
Webb recorded the final two outs Sunday to pick up the save in an 8-4 win over Cincinnati.
After Caleb Thielbar allowed a pair of singles, Webb entered with one out in the ninth inning and proceeded to record the final two outs, locking down his fourth save this season. With Daniel Palencia (elbow) on the IL, Webb and Trent Thornton have stepped up as Chicago's primary ninth-inning options. Webb now has three saves in his last four appearances while holding opponents scoreless in his last nine innings. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 3.05 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 41.1 innings.

Cubs' Matthew Boyd: Grabs fifth win
Boyd (5-1) earned the win Sunday against the Reds, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk across 6.1 innings. He struck out three.
All four of the runs charged to Boyd came in the third inning, capped by a Eugenio Suarez two-run homer with two outs. However, the Cubs would rally for four runs of their own in the seventh, giving Boyd his third straight win. Since returning from the IL in late June, the left-hander has pitched to a 2.08 ERA in four starts (22 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 4.50 with a 1.28 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB across nine outings (46 innings).

Cubs' Michael Conforto: Idle against southpaw
Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
The left-handed slugger will head to the bench for the third time in four games, with all three of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. Conforto will give up his spot in the lineup to Kevin Alcantara, who will bat ninth as the DH.

Cubs' Carson Kelly: Blasts sixth home run Saturday
Kelly went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-3 win against the Reds on Saturday.
Kelly hit his second home run in his last four games in the sixth inning, giving him six long balls on the season. The veteran catcher was making his fourth straight start, with Saturday's appearance coming at DH as Miguel Amaya handled duties behind the plate. Kelly and Amaya have been alternating pretty regularly as Chicago's backstop, limiting the fantasy ceiling of each as long as they're splitting the workload.

Cubs' Alex Bregman: Plates winning runs with homer
Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 5-3 win against the Reds on Saturday.
Bregman made a huge impact with his lone hit, as he launched a two-run homer to left field in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie. That ended up being the decisive knock, as neither team scored for the remainder of the game. Bregman entered Saturday in an 0-for-11, three-game skid, and he's had a subpar first half of the campaign, slashing .236/.333/.345 with eight homers, 43 runs, 37 RBI and two stolen bases through 93 contests.

Cubs' Trent Thornton: Collects one-out save
Thornton recorded a save against the Reds on Saturday, retiring the only batter he faced on a groundout.
Ryan Rolison was handed the ball in the ninth inning with Chicago up 5-3, but he was lifted with two outs after putting runners on second and third base. Thornton was summoned to go head-to-head with Sal Stewart, and the game ended when Stewart grounded out to second. Thornton thus logged his third save of the season and notched his ninth scoreless appearance across his past 10 outings. Since Daniel Palencia (elbow) landed on the injured list June 16, four different Cubs relievers have notched a save, and three (including Thornton) have posted multiple saves. One of those three pitchers (Jordan Wicks) has since been sent down to the minors, so it appears Thornton and Jacob Webb are sharing closer duties for the time being.

Cubs' Javier Assad: Posts another effective start
Assad completed five innings against Cincinnati in a no-decision Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four batters.
It wasn't the most dominant of performances by Assad, as he served up two homers among seven total hits. However, both long balls were of the solo variety, and the the right-hander otherwise dodged damage in the scoring column -- in part due to throwing an efficient 54 of 82 pitches for strikes and issuing zero free passes. Since re-entering the rotation July 5, Assad has held his own, allowing two runs over 9.2 frames with a 6:2 K:BB. However, Jameson Taillon (hamstring) is slated to return shortly after the All-Star break, and Edward Cabrera (hamstring) may not be far behind, so it's up in the air whether Assad will remain in the rotation beyond late July.
