It’s safe to say that Pete Crow-Armstrong was pretty sure he was, well, safe on this bang-bang play at the plate. The Cubs center fielder dashed home from third base when Alex Bregman squibbed a ground ball to first base in the ninth inning of Thursday’s 7-2 Cubs victory over

PITTSBURGH -- Ian Happ has always had success playing in the city in which he grew up. Happ had another big night at PNC Park on Wednesday, and it couldn’t have come at a more ideal time for the Cubs.

When the Cubs selected Josiah Hartshorn in the sixth round of the 2025 Draft, they were banking on the fact that they could use savings from earlier picks to bring the switch-hitter -- a highly regarded prospect out of the California high school ranks -- into the organization. After paying

PITTSBURGH -- The Cubs have signed veteran left-handed reliever Aaron Bummer to a Minor League deal and will assign him to Triple-A Iowa, manager Craig Counsell acknowledged on Wednesday. The club has not yet confirmed the move. Bummer was released by the Braves on May 19 after logging a 7.63

We say it every year, and it bears repeating again: the Draft is hard. Front offices spend years scouting and analyzing a particular Draft class, but even the best baseball minds can’t predict what will happen with absolute certainty in the years after. Take the 2021 class ahead of its

PITTSBURGH -- The most consistent trait of the 2026 Cubs has been ... their inconsistency. The club's puzzlingly erratic play hit a historic milestone with Tuesday night's 12-1 defeat to the Pirates at PNC Park, the 10th straight loss for a team that has also reeled off two 10-game winning

CHICAGO -- Edward Cabrera was scheduled to play catch and test things off a mound on Sunday morning at Wrigley Field. It soon became clear that the results did not match Cabrera’s recent optimism that he would not miss a start for the Cubs. Prior to Sunday’s 8-5 loss to

CHICAGO – The lineup that Cubs manager Craig Counsell rolled out on Saturday afternoon had a much different look from what has been his typical alignment. Pete Crow-Armstrong was shifted into the leadoff spot. Nico Hoerner hit cleanup for the first time in four years. Ian Happ was on the

CHICAGO – Nico Hoerner has tried this bit of defensive wizardry before, and even those efforts – whether during drills in Spring Training or in a game – wowed any and all onlookers. On Saturday afternoon, the Cubs’ second baseman pulled it off. In the fifth inning of a 3-0

CHICAGO – Kevin Alcántara has made the trip to Wrigley Field twice previously, but both of those promotions came in September. The outfield prospect got to check off some firsts as a big leaguer, learned the ropes and experienced a late-season playoff push. On Saturday morning, Alcántara was back at

CHICAGO -- Before Friday’s game, Cubs manager Craig Counsell pointed to one thing that has hurt Chicago most during its recent offensive struggles. “When you do have runners on base, you can’t give up an at-bat,” Counsell said.
