Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images The Cubs are done giving outfielder Ian Happ the runaround — literally. Five days after bruising his ribs in a nasty collision with second baseman Nico Hoerner in Cincinnati, Happ was put on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 4. He took batting practice and did some running in the field before the opener of a three-game series against the Pirates at Wrigley Field, but there was too much pain — especially when running — not to take a pause. �...

OF Nick Martini selected from Triple A. RHP Jason Adam recalled and LHP Kyle Ryan has been DFA’d. To replace Happ, the Cubs are bringing up outfielder Nick Martini, a minor league signing this offseason, who had brief (mostly successful) tastes of the big leagues in 2018 and 2019. He’s a high-contact guy who takes his walks, and so far in his career has hit righties very well (while being unplayable against lefties). For Happ, obviously he’ll get the IL period to rest up, but when he’s...

Cubs 6, Dodgers 5: Sweep! Share this story Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports It took four hours and 23 minutes, three different comebacks from being down a run and a game-winning hit from a guy who was supposed to be getting the night off, but after all of those things happened, the Cubs had a thrilling 6-5, 11-inning win over the visiting Dodgers and a three-game series sweep just at the time they needed one. They’ve also won five of their last seven games. Fun fact about the last two games...

THAT WAS A WILD ONE!

I’ve said it before, but I’ll sure say it again: when a Cubs game goes deep and keeps me up late before an early morning, it’s ALWAYS easier to shake off the rust when it was a win. I got very little sleep, but I feel like I could chop down redwoods with my bare hands this morning. •   What a great series, and coming at a great time. Fundamentally change your perception of what the 2021 Cubs are or will be? No, I don’t think you can go that far. But I think last night’s win, and t...

Does David Bote know how to walk a game off or WHAT?! After a roller coaster affair that had me writing (and re-writing (and re-re-writing)) this enhanced box score many times over, the Chicago Cubs came out on top, sweeping the double-header, and guaranteeing just their third series win of the year. Against the Dodgers, no less. Javy Baez brought us into extra, extra-innings with a monster two-run shot, and David Bote (would it be anyone else?) walked us off. Again. Ah. What an absolutely grea...

Thompson Turner sitting opens a spot in the lineup for Edwin Ríos, who grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the first game of the doubleheader and is hitless in his last 29 at-bats, dating back to April 13. This is just the second start in the last 13 games for Ríos, who the Dodgers are trying to ignite similar to Beaty. Beaty got his regular at-bats with a week at the alternate site, which isn’t an option now with minor league seasons starting this week, including Triple-A Oklahoma City begin...
