Chicago Cubs

Paul Skenes, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, will be recalled to start for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday at PNC Park.

As the Chicago Cubs kick the can down the road regarding Kyle Hendricks’ return, Hayden Wesneski has shown he deserves to remain in the rotation. Wesneski pitched six strong innings Wednesday against the San Diego Padres but failed to get any run support in the Cubs’ 3-0 loss at Wrigley Field. Dylan Cease dominated the Cubs over seven innings, allowing only an infield hit and striking out 12 ...

Dylan Cease silenced his native team on Wednesday, tossing seven scoreless innings against the Cubs. It was a career gem for Cease. He pitched seven innings, allowing just one hit and zero runs. He walked two batters and struck out 12 — one away from tying his single-game career high of 13 strikeouts. He pitched a whopping 113 pitches —...

A teacher who has been rewarded for her exceptional work with students threw out the first pitch on Tuesday night as the Cubs hosted the Padres. Comfort Agboola received a Milken Educator Award in February for her exemplary work with students in the classroom at Poe Classical Elementary School in Pullman. While still basking in the glow of that award, Agboola got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Tuesday night's Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Agboola was one of hundreds of teachers at the park for Teacher Appreciation Day at Wrigley Field, and was glad she didn't throw a wild pitch that would go viral.

Alexander Canario is heading back down to Iowa as the Chicago Cubs brought their star slugger Cody Bellinger back from injury much sooner than expected for Tuesday night's game. Bellinger's bat is sorely needed in a lineup that has been struggling mightily to score runs of late. For Canario, however, it's another disappointing development on the road to becoming a major league regular that begs questions about whether that day will ever come with the Cubs. Since first making the majors in September of last year, the right-handed outfielder has struggled to get consistent playing time in Chicago despite becoming a respectable offensive force in the minors.

CHICAGO — In a driving rain at Wrigley Field, on a night in which Cody Bellinger returned to the lineup and Shota Imanaga delivered once again in what’s becoming a historic rookie season, Michael Busch led off the bottom of the ninth in a tie game. He didn’t take long to send the wet fans […]

The Purdue big man was invited to throw out the first pitch at Tuesday's Chicago Cubs game, and, well, it was not great. In those two seasons with the Boilermakers (73 games), Edey averaged 23.8 points and 12.5 rebounds.

Top pitching prospect Cade Horton will use his Iowa Cubs call-up to prove he deserves a spot in Chicago. Here's his approach.

CHICAGO (AP) — Dylan Cease is back in Chicago this week. And he’s apparently much happier than the last time he was here. Cease, who spent his first five major-league seasons with the White Sox after being drafted by the Cubs out of high school, said his final season with the South Siders “wasn’t enjoyable […]

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs had their chances to rally from behind to make the return of ace left-hander Justin Steele to the mound Monday night even more special than it already was. But after a former Cub shut them out for five innings, the Cubs’ rally fell short in a 6-3 loss to […]

When Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer thinks back on some of the calmer moments of his long front-office career, a lock-down closer tends to take center stage. As the Cubs bullpen inconsistencies have been impossible to ignore, despite entering Monday with the third-most wins in the National League, Hoyer recalled how having Jonathan Papelbon and Aroldis Chapman as the ...
