Cubs News
The Chicago Cubs are struggling to find their footing after a disappointing 2-5 week, marred further by a 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field yesterday, leaving them with a run differential of -11. The team’s recent woes result in a chilling atmosphere as they sit third in the division with a record of 29-20. Adding to the drama, left-hander Ty Blach has been designated for assignment to make way for Caleb Thielbar's return from the injured list. Meanwhile, young center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is making headlines for the wrong reasons, facing a fine for an incident with a fan. As the Cubs gear up for a pivotal matchup against the Brewers today, they need a spark from their lineup, especially from underperformers like Ian Happ and Nico Hoerner, to turn the tide before it’s too late.
