Cubs News
The Cubs' recent 1-4 loss to the Guardians has been compounded by today’s rainout, postponing their chance to rebound as they prepare for a doubleheader on Sunday. Cade Horton’s early exit due to forearm discomfort has left the pitching staff scrambling, and with the storm disrupting their plans, the hope of seeing Shōta Imanaga or Edward Cabrera on the mound is now in limbo. Meanwhile, Nico Hoerner's newfound power approach could be a silver lining as he backs the Cubs' decision to extend his contract, while top prospect Kevin Alcantara is making a strong case for a call-up, raising eyebrows after being left off the Opening Day roster. With a record of 3-4, the Cubs are treading water, but they’ll need to harness their emerging talent to turn things around.
